HD DVD Player that plays SD region disc???
Is there a HD DVD player out that can play standard definition dvd from other regions, a region free player. I want to get an upconverting dvd player but it would be better if there is an hd dvd player that can play region free disc and hd.

All HD DVD and Blu-ray players are region-locked when playing standard DVDs.

(not sure if any of the players sold in Australia have SD region-coding - but seeing that Sony is involved in Blu-ray one would imagine that they are locked down. That the Sony PS3 doesn't upscale SD DVDs makes it less of a desired product as well)

I'm surprised that as of yet no one has figured out a region hack for any of the available Toshiba players?
