I figured Gary's rave would pique interest in Repo Man, but I'm guessing region-locking precludes most folks from buying it.

Pre-ordered Repo-Man and hopefully around that time I'll get my tax return and can grab a region free player

This thread and the Arrow one are both evil. I really need to get a cheap region-free Blu-ray player.

Re: The Official Masters of Cinema Blu-ray Thread

I've been buying Region B Blu-rays for a little while now and I still don't have a region-free player to view them on yet...The OPPO BDP-93 is the one I want but it's $500 and I can't afford it yet

Between the Masters of Cinema, BFI, Optimum and Arrow Blu-rays, I am going crazy!!!

The 93 is a great machine. Keep in mind that it will be another $50+ (maybe prices have come down a bit) for the hardware mod to get it region free. Unlike the DVD players, the BD players can't be done with just a remote hack.

Re: The Official Masters of Cinema Blu-ray Thread

I saw one time there is a site that sells firmware hacks to make Panasonic Blu-ray players region free. Does anyone have any experience with that?

Re: The Official Masters of Cinema Blu-ray Thread

I have a modded Panny and swear by it. If you cant afford the Oppo, I think a modded Panny is a very good alternative. Only thing is that the Panny mod costs about twice as much as an Oppo mod so you need to factor that in.
