Re: The Polymath DVD

Rephrasing the question for the people who have copies: Is the disc 
zone-restricted at all? The box should indicate that if it is.

I'd be surprised if it was. Only the big studios generally have an 
interest in zone-limiting their DVDs. That said, it surely is in NTSC 
format rather than PAL, which could be another issue for Europeans 
interested in obtaining it.
