  • I actually bought a DVD player at EIDEN and unlocked it and made it region free with the secret code. It was really cool!

  • Most DVDs can be unlocked and made region free or change the region if you know the secret code and unlocking process. This website has some more details about this, if you're interested. DVD Exploder

  • Check out The Flying Pig (they sell region free dvd players and send directly to your home). Most Japanese electronics stores won't sell them - may be a regulatory thing...
