I mean I would go to other places and check out reviews to find out if a blu was going to look like shiite or not, however the level of scrutinization that occurs here is intimidating. To go along with that, I then find out many of my blus are of the inferior kind compared to those in other regions. It's kind of deflating. So, I am dipping my toes into the RF arena. Baby steps to start. I haven't modded my player yet and only have a couple of region Bs so far. I thought upgrading DVDs to blu sucked. Now there is upgrading blus to blu AND upgrading blus to 4K! And, I know I don't have to do it, but I am OCD so...you know...I don't have a choice. This hobby can certainly be maddening

You bring up some great points... bonehica

I originally was lurking for a year or so, then I joined when I was deciding to go Region-Free mainly for the items I mentioned before (Napoleon and World At War) I had some questions.

I want to spend my money wisely, so I gather like you reviews from many sites. I don't regret any past purchases, but I feel much more educated by making wiser ? choices.

Too many unwatched movies to watch to start thinking about 4K , My viewing time is running out

In my collection, I have to segregate movies from Region A to Region B, so my kids who haven't gone RF can watch the Region A releases or Region Free ones

I'm not educated as some of those who post here, but I'm and much more informed then before.

I also buy more now than before, with being RF....

I do enjoy having my Region-Free player
