Is there a Multi Region Blu Player On The Market?

rocksolid

Is there a blu ray player on the market at the minute that is multi region for both dvd and blu rayer, i know most players can have the dvd unlocked fairly handy but the blu rays cause the problem, its just i have a few region A blu rays and nothing to play them on........

Hi Guys,

Just purchased that Bee and both knees Oppo BDP-83 Universal Zone-Free Blu ray Player, should have it next week, I can't hardly wait!
I'm going to hold onto the S5000ES too for the moment though just in case, there are a few unhappy customers of the Oppo already!?

the only misgiving with it as far as I can see is that it doesn't play playstation games, but then, maybe that's a good thing.

Yea Hi, I got it from CRT alright! Had to wait quite a while though to get one, they were blown over with the demand for this player, working flat out converting them.

The conversion is pretty straight forward seemingly with just a replacement ribbon cable or something like that, seemingly Oppo released a Zone free model in NZ and that was the only difference.

I know you have been blowing about this player albeit the imminent Zone B version for quite a while, will you buy one?

Yup - Hopefully before Christmas. Have ditched the idea for a SACD player, as this does it all.

Have my eye on a Naim Uniti for my 2 channel room first...

Always another option:
Momitsu BDP-899

Hi,

Well have the oppo about a week now, Played Blu ray and DVDs on it viewing on 50" Kuro
I don't want to say that the Oppo is better than the Sony but ......it is and it's not!
It's great value and it is so quick, it's about half the price of the Sony and it plays everything bar vinyl. I haven't got any SACD's but am considering getting Norah Jones one just to try it out.
It is not better than the Sony IMO but it's as good and if I can find a realistic buyer for the Sony, I'll part company with it, otherwise my Bro says he'll take it off my hands:( (if you think I'm Cheap, you haven't met my bro)
