Region Free Blu-ray Players (World Wide List)
- Thread starter Wreck
- Start date
I have 2 LG BH200's (out of production now), but they can be modified with the remote (thread on AVS). They've been fantastic thus far and also play PAL and all regions of DVD's.
Those are nice, I need one ... I just found one for around $250 which doesnt seem bad. Not the LG but like a panasonic.
Im almost ready to get one of these region free units, anyone care to share what would be a good deal/brand?
Sorry for the dumb question here. I have a LG Bh200 so I can do the remote switch, but these other players that have been mentioned do they do the remote switch or do the players detect and switch region's automatically?
Body-I too have the LG BH200, and some other players. It depends on the player,really. Some may be pre-modded, require some kind of software hack...
That's what I thought. I'm a lazy guy and just hate switching back and forth with the remote.
Hey Body, yeah, but at least we can if we want to
Good luck huntin' down a better solution for you

I hope this message find someone on this old thread. I am looking into a region free bluray player. What is the best way to go right now?
I have been using my Oppo BP83 for over a year now. I have upgraded it a couple of times. I have not had a single issue with it. Every disc has worked perfectly. It is fast and looks great. I think there is a new model now. But definitely worth looking at! Hope that helps.

Looks like a BP93? I think it's the same with 3D support added. I'm resisting 3D so far until they make sets that don't need glasses, but wouldn't mind future proofing a bit.
you can get a region free (with remote hack) BD player from best buy for $89. If interested, PM me as I may take a while to check back on this thread.
You can get a Toshiba blu-ray player from uk/Europe for a very low price and upgrade the firmware to be region free.
As simple as 123.

There's a few cheap Phillips ones too you can get that can be region-edited.
I bought a Philips BDP3000 which I only found out much later could be changed to play Region A discs by altering the firmware update before installing it. You can find out how on youtube. The great thing is, you can pick it up for around £50 delivered, refurbished of course, but I've never had any problem with refurbished.
Once it's hacked, it is basically a Region A player, but will obviously play region free. I don't know if it can be changed back, but I'd imagine it would with another firmware.
It's a great player too. My PS3 has now become my second player, for Region B locked only.

Region Free Blu-ray Players
USA with remote code hack - 9113
Best Buy Player
Lots of good info on posts #10, 87 and 105.
Region free trick for Panasonic Blu-ray players (not sure if it works on ALL models, but worth a try, worked on mine (BD35).
Thanks Jung @TBS
All you need to do is load up the disc. When the message pops up that says the disc will only play in a Region B or C player pops up, press "stop" on the remote control. Then press "1" on the remote, followed by "enter." This will bypass the message and load up the disc to play normally.

Damn these babies are expensive
Well for most folks, I would recommend importing or purchasing the one available at Best Buy. I bought it, its only $89. Darczap and myself both have the same one.
