We are teaching Palio many new 'English' words; first 'Courting' which has nothing to do with Courts - and now a French letter, which has nothing much to do with the French and certainly not the alphabet!

'Common' English is a very strange language!

You better explain, Bubbles :-)

Something called "Regional Warranty" with some brands/models. Whatever you buy make sure it has a limitless international warranty.

There may also be an issue with the Blu-Ray drive (if it has one) because they’ve started to make them region-hardcoded and they won’t play anything outside of that region.

All the power adapters I've come across work under both 110/220v so they're not an issue.
