Opinions on Samsung BD-H5900 Region-Free modded

[Razzeh]

I'm looking for something to replace my Asus bds-700 player since it keeps freezing around halfway through various region A discs. I found someone selling a modded Samsung BD-H5900 from 220 electronics, supposedly almost unused and still foiled, for about $100 including shipping.

Any opinions on this player? I watch my movies on a 42 inch Panasonic plasma TV (p42st60), so I only need 1080p output, and it's mostly so that I won't have to turn the player off and on and then skip to wherever it froze before like I have to do with the Asus.

Alternatively, any other cheap solution for playing region A movies in continental Europe?

I have a player similar to this (without the front display), it's fine. If you're only going to use the player, it will do a decent job.

Damn, someone nabbed it before I could, guess I'll keep looking... Thanks for the advice, though.

Is pioneer bdt 150 a good player? Someone's selling one for ~$125 used, though I think it's firmware modded, not hardware modded.
