Buying (and Playing) non R1 DVDs
Ive been on this board for some time, and there seems to be a good amount of you guys that live in "Region 1" that have some non-Region 1 DVDs. Now, Im sure its fairly easy to obtain these, whether its from a foreign e-tailer or from Ebay. My question is, how do you guys play them? Do you have the old easily hackable Apex, or do you have a crack on your PowerDVD software that allows you to change regions? Do you have 4 different DVD players, or do you have a "mod-chip" type deal on the one DVD you have. Just wondering since there are some other region DVDs Id like to get my hands on. Thanks!

I purchased the easily hackable Apex player. I travel to Australia quite a bit and purchase a lot of DVD's when I'm there. I also purchase on line from Australia using EzyDVD , the exchange rate right now is pretty good.

Obligatory:
www.vcdhelp.com has a list of dvd players, and lots of how to make some of them region free.
