Question

basically...

Answer 1

Make sure you buy a Blueray standard DVD, and not HD DVD or other. Blueray is the worldwide standard and is usable both in Australia and UK.

Answer 2

DVD's have different region stamps on them. US have Region 1, UK and rest of europe has region 2. Other continents have different codings. But you could perhaps order it from the amazon site? amazon.co.uk I think - billing to you, delivery to your friend.

Best of luck.
