There are no region free blu-ray players,look at the link for region free disks. if you mean region free for dvd you will probably need a hack for you player, will need more info about your player when you get one.

Not quite - none of the blu-ray players can be made region free for blu-rays by users. (Although there was a Curtis player available from Currys for £50 a few years back which could be hacked. As soon as word hit the streets it flew off the shelves

)

However some sellers will sell modified players which will play regions A, B and C eg this Panasonic BD75

However I'm sure there's any real need as the vast majority of titles are multiregion anyway.

There's a few region-locked titles in the US ad some coming out that i want.

I bought my Panasonic from http://www.mrmdvd.com it does cost a bit more for multi-region but I think it's worth it for me. As I have always bought DVD from different regions, and I couldn't stand having restrictions on my BD purchases.

Wrong!

I'd also recommend mrmdvd. They're local to me and I've been buying most of my gear from their showroom for years

Shame people can't simply respect the region restrictions.

The region restrictions are unfair, why should I not be allowed to see something just because nobody will release it in the UK due to the fact there would be no market for it, such as the Animelo concerts in Japan.

Also I can think of a few Hong Kong films such as Shaolin Soccer I might have waited for the cut UK release four years later if I knew about it.

Thats not quite true.
Momitsu made a range of Region Free Players. Now long gone.These were re badged and sold by Aldi (Tevion) HMV and E Buyer.
I bought the Tevion and with a simple code entry on the remote is Region Free for Blu Ray
For the money £119 it,s a good player, not a lot of difference picture wise with the Sony BDP350 i have and in two years use no problems.
If you find one second hand worth a punt.
