Hi,
I've been reading all the postings here, and, after giving it much thought, I've made a decision: I'm reverting back to my original plan and trade my Region 1 player in for a region-free one. It will cost me an extra $200 CDN, but I believe it will be worth the expense, because I want to play Region 2 discs (+ possibly Region 4 ones as well). I have no interest in upgrading the DVD drive in my computer; I prefer watching my discs on a stand-alone unit because they don't make the discs freeze or skip.
I just want to thank you all so much for the feedback you've provided over the past week. There are a couple of friends who are interested in possibly purchasing my Sony player. The region-free player I'm thinking of buying can be plugged into any TV, regular or HD, and has prog-scan.
My dad (originally from Scotland btw) made an interesting hypothesis this afternoon. He said there's probably a bigger market for region-free players in the UK (+ other countries outside of N. America), because folks there want to include Region 1-coded releases in their collections, since the U.S. (probably) represents the world's largest market for home entertainment.
I'll definitely let you know what happens. In the meantime, I give you my thanks and appreciation.
Sincerely,
OI MuppetFan (real name Donald)
