Not true....all UK DVD players will play both NTSC and PAL discs. It is only if the discs are region coded for region 1 that they may not play. The players in the UK and Europe will play Region 2 or Region 0 (region free) discs, unless you have a "chipped" or region hackable DVD player, in which case all discs from around the world are playable.

As far as I know, all Adult releases in the US are playable worldwide, and it states so on the packaging. I think you will have no problems playing the discs you want.

Further to the info from Karol, here's a link to a DVD FAQ:

http://dvddemystified.com/dvdfaq.html

This should cover all queries, probably in more detail than you ever wanted to know!

On this point, quote:
"Bottom line: NTSC discs (with Dolby Digital audio) play on over 95% of DVD installations worldwide. PAL discs play on very few players outside of PAL countries. (This is irrespective of regions -- see 1.10.)"
