Region B bluray player for US resident - Blu-ray Forum

Top-Tier-Tech · 10-23-2011, 10:59 PM

I am looking for a region B standard 2D bluray player that is available for purchase by someone in the US and doesn't require hardware modification or custom firmware to operate, just a standard region B locked player.

If you have a suggestion where I can find one along with a specific recommendation please let me know!

Anyone???

Region B players have a different voltage and plug...... You will need a plug adapter and possibly a voltage converter. I think PS3 handles both voltages so you would just need to change the cord. You are better off just getting a US player that has region changing capabilities.

I'm selling a Oppo BRP-83 region free player for $400 + $25 S/H. PM if you might be interested.

I bought a Samsung one in the UK and brought t back on the plane. The voltage is 110-240. It works fine here. Maybe you could order thru Amazon UK?

Amazon UK doesn't ship electronics abroad. Somewhere like ebay uk is a better option.

Thanks for the tips and input guys, I hadn't checked this thread for a couple days otherwise I would've responded sooner. Regions are such a pain, not to mention completely pointless why shouldn't we be allowed to buy a movie from anywhere and watch it assuming it has an audio track or subtitles in our language.
