Where should I buy a region-free player?

...If I want a great price and non-outrageous shipping? Thanks in advance!

I reccommend that if you are going to only sporadically use it, go with a Cyberhome or other off brand and hack it. BB has one for $38 with prog scan!

with a lot of US made dvd players, i suppose the cybehome included..all you have to do is a series of keystrokes with the remote control to make the player region free..so to play a R2 DVD just hack it by hitting (for example) 9,9,9,9,9,enter on the remote control. and then you can play your R2 DVD on your US R1 DVD player. see?
here is the site where all this is easily explained..i was going to get a region free myself, but price and unsureability as to where to get i decided to get a US player (Philips 727) which has a very simple hack to make region free thus i can play any region dvd and PAL DVD's on my NTSC TV. Hope this helps...
