Does anyone know if region A players can be purchased here in Australia?
any links would be appreciated, thanks

I think its been talked about a few times, about certain models that can be unlocked from JB, but the last I heard of one, it wasn't a good player.

Not out of the box. There is a hardware mod set for Oppo players that can be obtained from eBay (a.o. places) whch is easily installed.

Not ordered a BD player but have had one of these delivered, with no problems.

I grabbed a Toshiba BD player from Harvey Norman today and it has a disc with it to make it region free for dvd and region swithable for BD and its so easy to do even the wife can switch the BD region without problem

and it was $94.
