For the cost of what you can get a X800 modded right now, you can do it yourself and save $150 for example. This assumes you're buying a high end player even. If you're buying a throw away player, almost a worry free choice.

Oh, I agree. Once it's modded, the warranty is gone. One good thing about buying a modded player from a site like Bombay or 220 is they offer a good warranty of their own.

Importing a player from the UK should still have the warranty, since you're not modding it, unless I'm mistaken. Does importing it to another region void the warranty since it's not being used in the intended region? Does anyone know?
