Chinatown Woxin DVDs require regionless, or all regions, players; the pricetag on the NAmerican version precludes buying by the thrifty.
I too rather like Men at Arms, though Guards! Guards! is more my speed. Takes reading all the Watch books to realize that Vimes isn't an ideal figure: he starts off an unthinkingly prejudiced common man and becomes progressively more unprejudiced through experience- 'I don't care for dwarfs much.' 'Well, dwarfs are OK but werewolves, good gods...' 'Werewolves are fine- one of my best officers is a werewolf- but I simply can't *stand* vampires!' What he is is an honest man, in both senses: says what he thinks and recognizes the truth when it's staring him in the face. It's a nice development to watch.
