Well, I got my R2 The Deer Hunter: SE today and the hack does NOT work with this title. Anyone know of any other possible hacks to get around this? Seems like if it plays one R2, it should be able to play all, but I'm not up on this technical talk.

Just a quick 'thanks' to everyone for all of the info on this player. I picked one up with the 10% off coupon at Best Buy, and it has played everything I've thrown at it so far.

Monkey, I've got some tricky discs that also don't seem to take initially. But, when I fiddle with the top menu button, it eventually plays - try hitting 'Top Menu' twice quickly in succession, then hit '1', then 'Play'...wait a moment (sometimes several seconds) without touching anything.
Hopefully this will do the trick.

Monkey, I mentioned this earlier in the thread: have you tired setting the Autoplay feature to on? Most discs play fine with Autoplay set to off, but I have a couple titles that won't play unless I set Autoplay to on. Give that a shot if you haven't already. Or if Autoplay is already set to on, set it to off. You still might have to try this along with some of the other hacks, but eventually it should work.

Thanks to everyone who posted in this thread, i picked one up today at target, they still had it marked for 89.99. The picture quality is outstanding, both pal 16:9 DVDs looked amazing and the hacks worked perfectly and were not a pain at all.
I'm very happy

I didn't know if i should have started a new thread for this info or not, but like i stated in my last post on this thread, the Magnvox MDV 421 is also region free, with the proper hack or code. It doesn't do the NTSC-PAL conversion but hey it allowed me to get the good version of the DC version of Army of Darkness and the R3 "Hero". It only cost me around $80 at best buy. I got it for my bedroom player since i only have 27inch zenith thats around 8 yrs old. I'm actually thinking of moving to be my main player since it does have the componet hookup .
But again i guess there should be a One and Only region free hack player thread or something.

Also, monkey mentioned that Deer Hunter SE would not work on his 3900. Is this known to be true for all? Just ordered the Tosh 3900 and was about to order this title as well. I won't if it will not work!
Thanks

I don't have this title yet, but i have yet to find a title that won't play on this player. I'm so glad i saw this thread, i can't believe everyone wouldn't own this, its the player for the money on the market, its better than my malata, which crapped out in under a year and i paid three times as much for it

I mentioned this earlier in the thread, but I have to ask again. Does anyone with the 3900, have the region 2 PAL Bend it Like Beckham .... and can you get it to play? I can't get mine to play no matter what I do (similar to the Deer Hunter SE complaints above), and I want to know if my disc is bad, or if the player will not read this title at all?

Maybe we need a new thread? Start a thread with title of "Will the 3900 play this DVD?" -- just a thought... I'd sure like a list like that for when my machine arrives!
Ahh, what the heck... I'll do it. Here goes
