Finally came to a decision, and ordered the S300. It arrived yesterday, and decided to start by taking a look at the first Planet Earth BD disc, courtesy of Netflix. Was unable to play the disc and got an error stating "incompatible region code".

Has anyone else had this problem? I've seen a few comments on this thread about how good the picture looks on this BD, so it must be working for some people. Could it just be the version that Netflix has in stock? I realize this is the BBC version, but I find it hard to believe that a disc being sold all over the US would not be playable on this machine.
