Slowly but surely i'm seeing more and more (legal) R2 DVD's coming down the pipe with English subs on them.

Up until now, i watch them on my PC. I have a DVD-RW drive set to region 1 and an older DVD-ROM drive set to region 2. I'd really like to move out of my omputer room into the living room with my 36" LCD and full 5.1, but i don't yet own a R2 player.

I've Googled a few interesting options, & since R2 includes Europe, it wasn't even hard to find a site in English. But i want the opinion of anyone who has some equipment. what model is it & how good is it?

I made a thread about region coding sometime ago. There were quite a few suggestions on how to modify players or buy all region ones. You can look at it here. Hope it helps a little.

i know about region coding and various ways around it. that is not what i was asking about. i was asking if anyone had a specific review or opinion of a specific player (aka their own). I am looking for a new unit for my entertainment center. Which means a quality highly reviewed piece of equipment.

the best place to get honest reviews is to ask people who are most likely to be using them. hence the post here.

Hm.. well I can tell you to NOT buy the one I said I was going to get in that thread. While it is all region and plays pretty much anything aside from a .wmv file, it stopped working after not even a year.

Do you live in an R2 location? You're probably better off posting your question in the Anime Forum, since the Retail one hardly gets any attention.
