fecking regions

So, for my birthday, my parents got me the QAF UK collector's edition DVDs.
Which they ordered from amazon.co.uk, of course, because it's not sold in the US.
So I now have the DVD set I have most longed for this year, in a DVD region that I can't play.
So, decision time: either I a) return this DVD and mourn quietly to myself or b) change my laptop to region 2. Of course, b) would mean that I would no longer be able to play my other DVDs on my laptop (there are a very limited amount of times I can switch between regions before it sticks for permanent), but I'm living in an apartment with a TV and normal (region 1) DVD player, so for the year, at least, I'll be fine watching the rest of the DVDs on that. And, I guess, once I graduate and move out and things, I can just buy a multiregion DVD player and be set. Broke, but set.
Oh, hell, like it was ever actually a choice. *changes laptop DVD region setting*
