I think it's a Hong Kong Blu-Ray player. I wish I knew more about it because my multi-region MALATA is a Chinese company as well and I've been happy with my Malata for more than 7 years...

You can get a Sherwood BDP-5004 -- the same as a Momitsu 899, which uses a remote code to change regions -- for $157 shipped on Amazon.

I heard that the shherwood has an annoying hum when it plays though? Whats the point of great quality when the blu ray player is making a distracting noise?

Find a LG BH100 or BH200 as both can do Region Free BDs and, as a bonus, HD DVDs. BH100 can be had for $100ish and BH200 about $250ish. I currently have a BH100 and it's been fine. HD DVDs look great to (sold my Toshiba A30).

So the LG BH is or is not multiregion? I thought all blu ray players can play region free blu rays. Please clarify what u meant. Thanks.

2. And what about during movie scenes with no noise or dialogue - during quiet scenes, can you hear the player noise?
3. Should I even be making the possible noise issue a factor of buying this player or not?
4. What if this player is in a tv stand shelf that doesn't have glass doors - is the noise even louder?

I bought mine from TheNerds.net for $154 last Friday and it was on my porch Monday morning. I haven't got around to hooking it up yet, plus I don't have any out of region blu-rays yet.

The BH's can play any region BD with a remote hack. Yes, it can play any ABC BD, but if it's locked to B or C, it'll play those as well. That's what you wanted, right? The ability to watch any Region BD?

I would really feel bad if I got a new DVD player or a Blu Ray player, because my Malata has literally lasted 9 years with no probs! It would be like cheating on it if I got a new player.

This isn't too widely known, but most upconverting A/V receivers will display PAL through the HDMI outputs at the proper frame rate.
