| Posted: | | | | If I remember correct, there are no region-free BluRay-Players. But there are existing some modded models, perhaps some users can make you recommendations. |

| Posted: | | | | Oppo makes some good ones, but you have to mod them yourself. The mods are very easy to install and requires no soldering or anything like that. It's literally plug-and-play and if you've ever installed RAM or any kind of expansion card in a computer you can install one of the mods.

| Posted: | | | | Just ordered this one and it should arrive tomorrow. My old region-free DVD player died and I already had several Region B Blu-rays that only worked on my laptop (with software that overrode the coding), so I decided to make a full upgrade. |

The price for the Mod was actually cheaper than what I've seen it on it's own. I should get it today!! | | | HDTV: 52" Toshiba Regza 52XV545U AVR: Onkyo TR-707 Speakers: Paradigm Monitor 7 v6, CC-190 & Atom Monitors Subwoofer: Definitive Technology ProSub 800 BD/DVD: Oppo BDP-93 (Region Free) HD PVR: Motorola DXC3400 500GB w/ 1TB Expander BD/DVD/Game: 250GB PS3 Slim DVD/Game: 250GB XBox 360 Elite Special Edition (Black) Game: Wii Remote: Logitech Harmony One w/ PS3 Adapter WHS: Acer H341 Windows Home Server |

Some vendors do sell them pre-modded. Out of curiosity, do Solutions AV offer a warranty that replaces the Oppo warranty, or will you need to remove the mod yourself if you want warranty services? | | | Tags, tags, bo bags, banana fana fo fags, mi my mo mags, TAGS!
