Advice on region 1 player

[Gharbad]

Unfortunately, studios keep releasing blurays with different region encodings. Since i live in a region 2 zone, i have to wait months for nice releases as Up and Forrest Gump. Seeing as region free players are rare and current player hardly have any option to change region (i have a ps3 so that will probably never happen).

Im looking to buy a relatively cheap bluray player from the US. Now most sellers dont really send abroad. I do realise ill get hammered with some sort of import tax, but im willing to take that pain.

So my question is;
Can anyone reccoment me a decent relatively cheap region 1 player at a retailer that sends to europe.

You should try a Momitsu BDP-799 from hkflix. I bought an 899 from them back in April. Both are multi region players on and SD.
Additionally they are dual voltage so you wont need a current converter. I removed the US twin plug on mine and fitted it with a UK plug (the white wire in the cable is the Live).
Shipping for the 899 was about $65 and arrived a few days later via Fedex.

FYI, Region 1 connotes DVD region coding. The Blu-ray regions are A, B, and C.
