I was thinking about getting this but thought I would ask here first I have seen some good reviews but I am worried about the region free thing I have more NTSC films than I do PAL so I am looking for a DVD Player that will play both would like all the help that can be given.

Also how does the Terminator 2 Extreme Edition look on a HD TV specifically the Samsung LE40M61

This player is one of the easiest to hack with simple instuctions which can be found on these forums, I got the 850 a couple of weeks ago and it was a dodle, ( The hack is the same for both machines) it would have to be for me, just a simple number to enter in a specific way. The picture quality is great on these players and you should notice a difference.

Are there any differences in the 850 and 950 apart from color?

Also hows the HDMI Lead work out ? Better than component ?

WOW thats a lot of difference does the hack thing for the 850 mentioned earlier easy to do and does it work with the 950 ?

Also are there any stores that carry it as I do not really want to get online.

Comet (850 at the mo), RicherSounds(950) maybe Currys. Check Pricerunner, Kelkoo etc.

Well atm I am using a Yelo 800DVD DVD Player it also has Component outputs will I see much of a difference if I buy a Samsung 950 ?

I have had the Yelo since May 02 cost me £150 was pretty good fot its time.

Cannot seem to find any retailers that do this I have tried Dixons, Currys, PC World (You never know lol apparently they do TV's)
