Which player do you currently have, for how long now (warranty), and in which country do you live?

You can get a Momitzu and it's clones on Amazon, which can be region changed by remote.

I know not everyone has the means, but if you can go with a PC setup I highly recommend it! They will play anything, any region (with certain software) and with better PQ than any standalone, IMO. If you already have a powerful enough PC, all you need is a BD drive (I recommend one of the LG combo drives) around $100, region hacking software (about $100 for a 2 year license) and the playback software (around $80-100 again). May need a aftermarket soundcard to get HD audio. So for around $300 you can have a PC player that will play anything you throw at it with better quality and faster than a standalone, or you can try to import a standalone for the same cost (if your lucky) or up to twice as much.
