Re: Region Free DVD Players
Almost all players can be bought de-regioned from many retailers. On the high street, Superfi, Sony Centres, Shop@Panasonic and (perhaps best value) Richer Sounds (no doubt there are others) all sell branded machines as multi-region. As do most e-tailers. All you have to do is ask.

Re: Region Free DVD Players
I recently bought the philips dvp5990 for 55 quid from amazon.. it needs a code to make it region free but the code is widely available and easy to do (just a bunch of numbers on the remote)... has worked fine for me and am able to play region 1 and 2 no probs
