For my birthday I got a ton of great dvds that I've wanted forever... sadly, they are region 2 dvds. (There was no way they could be found in Region 1, we looked EVERYWHERE.) Unfortunately my dvd player doesn't have any region free hacks. Everyone has been telling me how easy it is to just buy some cheap dvd player and turn it region free. Well, I can't find any!!
Does anyone know where I can find a reasonably cheap (under $70) dvd player that has region free hacks available?

Thanks!

P.S. If someone can show me a link to where I can buy one online that would be great, but I don't mind trekking to get it. (I live in Ottawa, so it has to be a Canadian store if it's not available online.)



Answer
Make a note of what models are available at local stores, like. Walmart, Canadian Tire, Superstore (Loblaws?). Then check for that model at http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks (or just google the model number and region free).

However, I think the best solution is to make a copy of the DVD, since that removes the region encoding altogether. Then you can play the DVD on any player, not just the region-free one. If you really have a ton of DVDs, this may not be practical.

Where can I buy a reasonably priced region free dvd player?

I'm looking to get some "region 3" DVDs, but I need a dvd player that is region free, and able to play on my TV's without any type of converters... Do you have any suggestions on where to buy and a good model and good price?


Answer
First see what models brands/model number the local store is selling. Then go to www.videohelp.com and look up those models under Hacks in the column on the left. Many players can be made regionfree with a code entered from the remote control.

I found mine by going to walmart.com, checking the models I could pick up in the store against www.videohelp.com, and bought a Philips player for about $30. Entered the code I found and have no problem playiing any region dvd.
