"Region free" Blu-ray player is not a good sign.
I'll quote a post I made on the 2nd page of this thread.
"Multi-zone" is the key phrase for BluRay players I've found. DVDs have regions, whereas BluRay has zones. So if it's a "Region free" BD player then it's likely that it plays all region DVDs but will only play a single zone for BD. |

Thanks for the info. I was just confused because it played some of my Zone B blu rays but not others. |

It is possible that some of your Region B discs are actually Region AB so will play in either.
unlike DVDs it is usually not possible for a BD player to be "Region Free"; you generally have to manually change region where such a facility is available - this is how it is for my Toshiba (to change BD region I have to enter a code on my remote to enter the service menu and change it there). |

Actually does anyone have a good recommendation for a BR that plays DVDs from any region? (I actually do not need a multi zone DVD player at this time)

Me too. I just got Monster 1-5(no 2 )DVDs from Siren Visual (gift I REALLY loved) but live in the US and have no region-free/multiregion DVD player. If anyone can please recommend a good &/or cheap multi-region/region-free DVD player, or a BDplayer that also plays US & AU DVDs you'll be my hero. So, Any Suggestions? Thanks! PS: I have 1 Bluray (GITS Arise import) going unwatched as I've no BD player; so one that plays US & AU DVDs (& DVD+R, etc) would be great, as JP,US Blurays are the same zone(..right?). I just haven't been able to find one. Maybe I'm an idiot in this, so I really appreciate any suggestions! Oh yeah- anyone know where to get Monster Part 2? |

I found a couple of eBay, but they don't ship to the US - kind of defeats the purpose. There is however this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Naoki-Urasawas-Monster-COMPLETE-SERIES-BOX-15xDVD-NEW-Cowboy-Bebop-/252255517923?hash=item3abb99bce3:g:zhAAAOSw~bFWFdZP With shipping included, it's a $100 for the entire set. Damn good price if you ask me. |

I started importing Aniplex titles from the UK. I'll eventually pick up Monster from Austrailia.
