Is it worth buying a region A blu ray player?

I have still not gone multi-zone yet for the same reason.

The switch to multi-region DVD was a no-brainer (Criterion DVDs, uncut horror from the US, etc).

These days we now have MoC, BFI, Arrow, and we no longer have issues with banned or cut horror films. The only issue for myself is Criterion again (all other US titles that interest me are region free). Now that Criterion are going dual format, this is not such an issue.

I would go with the cheapest option. There are still no multi zone players which tempt me. We are still in the early days and I reckon a slew of multi zone players will be hitting the market in the next couple of years.
