codefree players no problem

I bought a region free Philips player in Holland two years ago and I have 
NEVER had ANY problems with it.

Don't get scared by horror stories about regionfree players. It wouldn't 
surprise me if those stories where started by hardware and software 
manufacturers. I've never heard of this 'super-enhancement' which supposedly 
negates regionfree modification and will consider it another scaremongering 
rumour.

The modification is also perfectly legal, in case anyone has any worries 
about that. You can after all do whatever you like with your own property. 
You could throw it out the window if you felt like it.

Of course, if you bring your precious player to some butcher shop to be 
modified, no doubt it will break down, but that won't be because it's 
regionfree.

I urge you to go ahead and buy one, so you can enjoy any film you want 
without the industry telling you what to buy and what not.
