Looking for a region free portable DVD player

Hi,

I'm looking for a region-free portable DVD player. Anybody have any recommendation for one?

Thanks,

Andy

My Cyberhome 712 has worked great for about 2 years now. It was a gift,but I remember it being about $200 at the time.

I just purchased this Polaroid 8-Inch portable DVD player about a week ago:

http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Polar...oductDetail.do

I just found out today that this player can be hacked to play all regions. (Search the "Hack" section at Videohelp.com). It also plays PAL discs (it displays properly on the 8-Inch screen, but I do not know if it converts properly if connected to an external TV. I tried it out and it looked a little squished on my 4:3 TV -- perhaps it would look correct on a 16:9?)

I've only had this player for a short time, but I'm enjoying it. It was really nice to be able to watch a DVD-RW during lunch at work today of the latest "CSI" episode. I've also found the 8-inch screen size pretty good, and I like the black casing of this model. I originally thought 8-inch was too small, but after lugging it around a few days, I think a 9- or 10-inch wouldn't have been "portable" enough for me.
