Region Free Blu-Ray Players That Don't Require Modding

[Kschreck]

Are there any region free Blu-Ray players that do not require hacking or sodering that I can buy from a regular store like Best Buy?

Ideally I would like a region free Blu-Ray player that can upconvert to 4K that won't break the bank.

Are these region free out of the box? How would you make them region free?

I'm new to the region free scene but it's been confusing even after spending an hour on research.

Can you recommend a few of the cheaper ones with ebay links?

Multi-System is a great seller. Highly recommended: http://www.ebaystores.com/multisystemdvdregionfreedvd

Recommended players:

Sony BDP S3700: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-SONY-S3...kAAOSwoudW-Vgg

Sony BDP S6700(3D capable): https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Sony-S6...kAAOSw3mpXG4iw

Samsung BD-J5100: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-BD-...0AAOSw-7RVHVmm

If you decide on one of the Sony BDP 4K upscale models, 6500 and higher, please perform these steps to to remove the forced DNR on the players: https://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.ph...1&postcount=70 However, this is unecessary if you use the player on a 4K television, as described in the first post of that thread.

Also, beware of performing firmware upgrades. I know the ICOS mods are supposed to allow you to upgrade firmware and keep the region mod, but a firmware update for my J5100 broke the region mod and reverted it back to region A/ 1 only. Ended up getting a separate player that is solely for non region A discs that is not even connected to the internet.

FYI, 4K UHD discs have no region locking!
