Buy multiple Blu ray players - Blu-ray Forum

pacificvibes · 11-02-2008, 08:21 AM

Okay I was looking into buying a second Blu-ray player that was a Region 2 or B player so I wouldn't have to worry about the codes anymore, well somewhat. What I am wondering is, if I buy a Blu-ray player from Amazon UK, is it a Region 2 or B automatically??? And would I be able to update the player if need be here in the U.S?? I just want to be able to buy region 2/B movies and be able to play them with no worries. Any info. on this topic would be great. Thanks

Why did ya do two threads on this?

pacificvibes · 11-02-2008, 08:25 AM

HAHA I have no clue what happened there, my apologies

Sneaky sneaky.

I figured that you just hit the submit button twice - since they are both in the same forum.

Yeah I have no clue, so do you know about the players?

Oh yah...back on topic LOL

From what others have said here, Amazon won't ship Region X player to region Y. There are ways to "chip" your player to get around the regions - but that's beyond my knowledge.

The only players, that I'm aware of, that allow you to change the region settings are PC drives - but even then there is a small finite limite on the number of times you can change the region setting.

Would it make sense then to just have two BD drives in the same PC, one set to one region and the other set to another?
