[QUOTE="SphereCDI, post: 39402, member: 351"] Not commonly on the cards just yet - unless you follow the route that Windshear is talking about with mods and things. large majority of the players can be region-free'd by remote or possibly firmware for the DVD portion of the player, but bluray is only via physical modification. Ray-zin - as to the customs quip, no they can't just add what they want. There is no duty payable on blue ray players, only an advalorem tax (luxury goods tax if you want to call it that) of 7%, and then VAT. The way they work it out though has an additional 10% or 15% upliftment all depending on the goods - some sort of SARS thing from eons ago. So, no, they can't just add whatever they want, and on top of that, you have an invoice from wherever you bought it from on which all their calculations are based. the list that Koogs posted is quote detailed and you should be able to find out if the discs your buying are region free, so that route plus amazon us shouldn't be too bad... :-\ [/QUOTE]
