I'm not sure about VLC Player but something like AnyDVD HD will let you play multi-region BD's. I remember with DVD drives that you had the chance to go back and forth between regions 4-5 times. I'm not sure if this is the case with Blu-ray drives but it would be cheaper to buy an external drive and lock it to one region and have another drive to play your local region. I think AnyDVD HD is a little bit expensive but it's probably cheaper than some of the hardware alternatives.
I haven't heard any one say that you can change regions on a drive, so whether you could buy a drive from another region and use that I'm not sure. It would be worth exploring as I've seen drives at around the the thirty pounds mark.
