The deal is that I finally broke down and got a DVD from the U.K. of that wasn't released here after the first season. It is in Region2 / PAL format. Instead of buying a region free player, I had heard one could change the region on a computer drive (a couple of times, I believe). My plan is to buy a USB one and keep it set there as there are some other DVDs I have found that were released there and not here. Will that work with an USB external?

I was thinking about this one.

I presume I could still burn data DVDS on it that would be readable in the other drives, or am I wrong?
