Unfortunately it seems that the "Blu-ray Disc Association" is far more
aggressive about enforcing the requirement that all Blu-ray players be
region encoded, so region-free Blu-ray players are rather scarce. Many
manufacturers who had made region-free, or easily converted to
region-free, DVD players are not doing that with their Blu-ray
players. Oppo, known for reference quality players at reasonable
prices, players that converted between PAL and NTSC, and could easily
be made region-free, now require firmware mods, or physical mods, to
be region-free. One reliable source for modified players is JVB Digital.
