Yes They Work But if Startup is in another language you might not understand
2 :
If your games are PAL and you have a NTSC Wii you cant play them
3 :
The Nintendo Wii has a region lock so no this wont work. In order to get it to work, you could unlock your Wii by using a soft chip which costs about £20, you can also run backups and more. The link in source should help you out

No they wont,

you may need a converter for it to work but if you have that then I guess it could work.
3 :
no its region locked. but, because of the exchange rate, you can import games from USA for about the same price.
4 :
No, sadly. The games are region coded. You would need a region-code ignoring device. Which you can purchase, but not at a retail store. Much like a mod chip.
5 :
of course they will work, i can go online on the wii with people in England from Philadelphia, it is one of the most advanced game system so far

yes they do. the good thing is that movies come out earlier there.
2 :
There are hacks to make it work (like buying a region free DVD player), but on standard region locked DVD player it will not work.
3 :
It should, because a friend of mine sends me DVDs from Amsterdam, Holland and they work for me.
4 :
When my sister was studying there, she tried to have a movie night on her laptop. But they put in the DVD and it didn't work because she had a US laptop and DVDs in England are on the PAL format and the US uses the NTSC format (or so goes my understanding). You can get DVD players that play both, but it's the sort of thing you have to search for. Most people won't have it, so I wouldn't assume that a DVD you bought in England would work in the states.
5 :
DVD's have a region code on them. Your DVD player also has a region code. Those codes must match in order to play. It's easy enough to override the region code on your DVD player. The harder part is the difference in UK and US video standards. UK - 625 lines/frame US - 525 lines/frame UK - 25 frames/second US - 30 frames/second UK - PAL color standard US - NTSC color standard Now, when a DVD is created, it has to be electronically 'compressed' to fit on the DVD. There is a code used for the compression. Your DVD player has a decompressor, which is the same code. If the video has been compressed according to one standard (made in the UK) and uncompressed by a different standard (played in the US), then it's not going to work very well. Think of it as a number code for text where A=1, B=2, and so on where Z=26. But when someone on the receiving end decodes it, HIS decoder has A=26, B=25, etc and Z=1. The message won't make much sense. There are converters so that a standard in one country can be recorded to the standard used in another country, but such converters cost extra money, quite a bit of money. If anyone gets a DVD from a country that uses PAL, and it plays in the US, then the DVD has been specially made and is likely marked NTSC. It would not play very well in the orginal country.

Can I get a graduate degree in veterinary medicine in England and then work in the US
Can I get a graduate degree in veterinary medicine in England and then work in the US?
I live in Georgia in the United States. Can I do my bachelors in biology or animal science in Georgia and then do my graduate school in England to recieve my doctorate of veterinary medicine or is it to complicated to do that meaning would the grades and bachelors degree in US be transferable to England and would the Doctorate degree from England work in the US, ect?

IM SURE YOU WOULD HAVE TO PASS SOME SORT OF AMERICAN TEST TO PRACTICE HERE, BUT THEIR INSTITUTIONS ARE GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE U.S.

3 :
In the US a student has to do 2-4 years of undergraduate work and then go to vet school for 4 more years. In england a veterinarian only has the equivalent of a bachelor's degrees. Most of their vets are not doctors. The system of education isn't easily transfered to the US. It would make more sense if you want to work in the US, then do your undergraduate work in England and then pursue your DVM here in the US. If you want to work in England then it's best to do all of your education there. There are some foreign schools that transfer into the US. (at least one is in England). Those schools are listed along with US schools here: http://www.aavmc.org
4 :
if you do your masters in the UK and want to pursue vet school in the US after wards you need to be aware that most master's programs in the UK are only one year long. some vet schools in the US may not think that u got enough experience in a one year program to join their school and may make you take some extra courses to get a US masters degree equivalent.
