FWIW, Best bet is to get a budget player from a company that doesn't produce movies (Sony is the absolute worst.) Those are more likely to have a hidden "disable region" setting you can do a web search for. The $20 CyberHome players my dad and grandmother both have are currently unlocked and will play discs that are both wrong region *and* PAL-resolution. But there isn't chance in hell I'll ever be able to do *either* of those with my PS3 or any other big-name player. > You must remember that the US has this lovely law called the Digital > Millenium Copyright Act, which puts lots of legal constraints on > anything that allows you to bypass copy- and read-protection > techniques. I'm still pissed as hell at Clinton for that. Forget Monica, Clinton should have been jailed for DMCA (along with corporate stooge lawmakers who placed it in front of him in the first palce). As far as I'm concerned, the DMCA is an illegal law - it's a clear and blatant violation of fair use *rights* and therefore completely unjust and invalid. It's a moral obligation for it, as with any unjust law, to be violated as much as possible by anyone who still values freedom and justice half as much as they *claim* to.
