My suggestion would be to buy a Sherwood BDP-5004 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black) which is a Momitsu 899 under the skin, and which, with a remote code, can be switched from BD A to BD B and to all regions of DVD, or any one region of DVD. Yes, the Brit BD player would be a problem because SD elements on a Region B BD are often SD PAL. Also some BDs are 1080i/50 Hz ("Super PAL") rather than the US 1080i/60 Hz. The Sherwood/Momitsu can be set for NTSC output through the HDMI cable and will play ANY European BD of any type. All for cheap. Buy two!

No, it's not a BluRay player, but it is 'multi-region'. Search Amazon for BluRay players if that'swhat you need.

Unlike HD DVD (who has no region code whatsoever for HD DVD discs), Blu-ray is also region-coded. The same thing applies to their playing of DVD discs. DVDs have region coding. So all hi-def players who support DVD must obey the region coding policies.

No, it's not Amazons job to do this. Amazon.com are an American company that stocks NTSC products. As the 3DS is region locked you will need a compatible 3DS/2DS to play. For example this game wouldn't work on a European, New Zealand, Australian 2DS/3DS handhelds because of the Region lock.

More than likely. I bought my region 2 dvds from eBay and they play like a regular DVD would. As long as it isn't a bad boot leg copy, you shouldn't have any problems

I was able to get it as US but I have hear of UK models showing up. Ask the seller first or buy from the sony site directly.

By default your blu ray player is set for region free dvd. You may use the remote control to set the region blu ray region for A or B or C Make sure the quick mode start for the unit is set to off. Press Standby/on to turn off the unit. Press 1 for Region A Press 2 for region B Press 3 for region C The unit will power on automatically. To pay dics from other regions repeat the process

Turn the power off, press 1 for A, 2 for B, 3 for C, and then turn it back on (It doesn't turn back on automatically). The Bluray's should work. I just tried this with my Bluray's from England and it works perfectly.

These players are originally region one. They are actually then modified to be region free by a third part or by the seller. If done correctly they player would be working 100% perfect and there would be no loss in picture quality. It will be up to par as expected. However you must check the sellers background, see how long they have been around and if you can contact them after the sale by phone for support. Most legitamite companies have been around for years I've seen some for 2-3 decades. I did a search on google for region free blu-ray player and purchased mine. It's works great. I had a snag with one disc, and the company sent me some software to fix it very quickly.

Yes, I live in México, and plays blu rays without problem. I also have some from Spain, and no problem at all.

I'm not really sure because I only live in the one region of the United States. I do however have a couple discs from the UK and it seems to play them without a problem.

Simple answer: Yes. BluRay disk fall into 4 geographic regions identified as A,B,C, and D. The US is region A and Europe is region B. It also plays all 8 DVD regions.

Sorry, I am not sure about the region B DVDs. I use it for region A Blu Ray and for all region standard DVDs.

Yes, they all play regular dvd's, not just blurays. If you only have a 720p/10801 television, then the bluray player will output the pic at that level. You may have to adjust the settings, but it will still out output it at 720p/1080i

a different region player, say for the UK, will probably play the appropriate pal type video. This is region 1 thus works w/ NTSC

Mathew, To change Blu-ray regions, turn the player on and remove any discs. Press home to go to setup menu, then press 8, 5, 2, 0 to get to the factory settings. Select BD region code and press 1, 2, or 3 for regions A, B, or C, then exit with the Home button. This has to be done whenever you use Blu-Ray discs from different zones. DVD's should already have region 0 selected so you can play any of them without doing anything. I have lots of region 2 DVD's from the UK, and even a Mike Oldfield concert encoded for regions 3, 4, and 6 which I just stick them in and play them anytime. It's a great little player. I love mine, and I think you will too once you get familiar with it. It even has features many big name brand machines don't offer, like multi-speed slo-mo and A-B repeat. Enjoy, Woody
