Sorry, I shall amend the review -
but this is a Region 2 Disc.

However you can find an All-Region Player quite easily on the internet. Just Google for All Region DVD Player or Region Free DVD Player.

I recently bought a Pioneer DVD Player (DV-490V-S)
Plays All Regions
Upconverts
High Definition Ready (1080i) via HDMI Interface
DivX Playback
Plays either PAL or NTSC formats.

Looks like I will need to buy one since I already ordered this DVD. Mike I take it no retail stores cary the universal DVD players if so who? Just been looking on internet sites for retail stores I don't see any that carry them which means I will need to buy one somewhere else on the internet.

I ordered from this dealer - (I'm not putting their name in the link but you can find name, address, and phone # if you click the link)

Region Free Dealer

no problems at all - had the player in just a few days. They are in Elk Grove, Illinois...which I think is a suburb of Chicago.

Hey Mike, thanks for answering my questions just one more on the site(link you gave for that player) whats a better deal the $139 price or the $159.00 price including cables? Thanks again and I appreciate you posting the info for Fuko other wise I wouldn't have known about it. Thanks!

Do you have a High Def TV?
Does it have HDMI Interface?
Do you already have HDMI cable or Component Cables.

I needed two HDMI cables - one for the Cable box, and 1 for the DVD player, as I just purchased the TV. So getting an HDMI cable, and a Component Cable (Yellow,Red, & Blue) in a deal with the DVD player was right for me.

Without a High Def TV, then you should modify your search -
You'd only need Region Free (with or without DivX) and the prices are far less without the HDMI.

Thanks for the additional info Mike I think my Sony TV isn't HD capable but I will probably order the 159.00 value pak in case I buy a TV in the future I'll already have the componets plus it is cheaper than having to buy these by themselves. Thanks again!

Wait, do you mean it's HD ready because it actually plays HD formats (Blu-ray, HD-DVD) or because it upconverts?  Rather important difference, methinks.

Yo Warlock -

I did say upconverts.
Maybe that means upconverts to 780.
I didn't build it, and I'm not selling it - I only bought it.

I am sure this is NOT an HD-DVD Player and I'm sure it does NOT play Blue Ray DVDs either. Players like that cost $500 to a $1000 US now.

The price drop is years away.

That's what I figured, I just wanted to make sure you didn't get shafted.

By the way, with regards to regional coding, you might be able to find a way to reset your DVD player's coding on the Internet. Codings are programmed, not hard-wired, so the manufacturers can reset them in bulk.

Of course, such tricks are complicated and never guaranteed to work. You also void the warranty on the player by any such "tampering".

Hey, it's your DVD and player. It's your choice.

The faint scent of pine filling the room.
Flames leaping about as if it were a ballet
Performing for its audience.
The soft, comforting glow of candlelight,
Bringing with it serenity and quiet thoughts.

Hmm... She's perfect.  I wonder if she's still growing?
