    No, not necessarily. The one sold in Walmart in the US is going to have the same DVD region of the one sold in a US Bestbuy. but, there will be differences between ones sold in specific regions like the US or EU etc w.r.t to the power cord, manuals, DVD region etc.

    Those are just the ones which you can custom order in the US.
