nice!!
have never seen either.
hopefully "House" will be better than the wretched domestic bd.
any info by chance on possible region locking?
I'm getting a region B player at some point before X-mas I hope, and then I will kiss all the region BS bye, bye.

Have no idea about region coding on these. The region free Panasonic BD30 is great btw!

[Arkadin]

did you get the mod kit or buy it that way?
I have a bd-30.

I bought a new modified BD30 for about $830.
