Well, I placed my order with DVDworldusa.com.. Bought a player for 109, GBP.. Let's see how long it takes..

I wonder if there will be any customs tax to be paid because after asking them via email they told me that their Players are shipped from the US


I did have to pay import on my US player which came from them. DVDs/Blu-ray etc... don't get charged but players almost certainly will.

Yes, quick delivery and worked fine.

You'll need an adapter to convert the plug to your type and depending on the voltage of Austria you might need a transformer to step down your voltage to the 110v that US equipment uses.

Samsung BD-P 1600

Why? I really was happy with my old Samsung BD-P 1400 and I have a Samsung TV.

Paid about 220€ but haven't received the package yet and therefor don't know how much the import tax will be..
