Heh....
R1 means regional 1. Different parts of the world have different regional codings.
US/Canada: Region 1
Europe: Region 2
Asia: Region 3
etc etc.
Normally, a dvd release specific to a region cannot be played in other parts of the world unless you have a region-free dvd player.
HKs: Bootlegs from HK.
These bootlegs are rips of:
1. DVDs
2. TVs
3. VHS
4. LD
etc etc.
You would do better with a standalone dvd player. Even though PS2 has dvd player components, it is mainly built for game play, not dvd viewing. Some PS2s can't play dvds at all.
