Default Region Free - Blu-Ray Players

Hi All,

Are there any region free Blu-Ray players on the market that anyone knows of.

I found this one, but would rather a better brand if possible.

cheers

the Panasonic BD30/BD35/BD55 can be modded to be region free.. you do have to select the region when turning it on though...
a lot of people through the DTV forums have used this guy ;

Only modded players so far, no 'factory' region free.

PS3 does not play all regions.

It is locked to the region where you bought it.

Games are region free, not all movies are.

Well in the past when I've ripped DVDs I have always lost quality, now using products such as handbrake you can retain the DVD quality.
