Anyone own the Orei BDP-M2? Real close on getting this one, trying to do my last bit of homework on it.
I still haven't bought a player, and by all reviews i've read at AVS and whatnot. It should play region A,B,C and all region DVD out of the box.
As far as quality..
Has anyone used MULTI REGION MAGIC before? There don't seem to be too many places in the UK selling multi region Blu-Ray players. After a bid of searching I have been finding a few comments (mostly good), but nothing recent and it would be nice to have a comparison with another company for prices etc.
I think, I'm going to get it and hope for the best.
Received the Orei. Hooked it up. Followed the instruction sheet fro Bombay electronics, and walla.. I get to watch my region B discs! (or C if i had any)
If you are buying blu rays, (Steelbooks) from other countries and planing on opening them why have you not got a multi region blu ray player ?
So that it does not matter what region it is locked to!!
Being a massive film fan myself, I have always had a multi region Oppo to make sure I can play blu's from any part of the world no matter what region A,B,C the blu is coded in.
Unfortunately, as inconvenient as it is for some, the release schedule and marketing of films is carefully orchestrated to sell to different territories at different times for a variety of reasons, which is why some studios choose to lock the discs. Basic region-free players are available much cheaper nowadays (Best Buy USA for instance has models for under $ 60) and remote hacks are available for many players, which is making this hurdle a bit easier to overcome. But if a person decides not to use either option, then unfortunately there is no way around the locked discs that some studios (Disney, Fox,etc) often release.
Can you unlock your bluray player like you could unlock your dvd players? I have unlocked both of my dvd players to make them region free never tried with my bluray players, but you used to be able to google your player and then enter a code and it would unlock it.

It blows my mind to see some folks willing to pay 1 steelbook at the price of $60, but can't afford to pay a $60 region free player. Aiyah
