Are they regions free? If I buy one in Korea and order movies from the US or Europe, will that be a problem?
If not, how much would it cost to ship a DVD player to Korea? $50 maybe? |

Shipping a DVD player may be worth it as the DVD players here are astronomical in price.

I don't know where you're buying your DVD players, but I got a new one a couple of weeks ago for 50,000. 5.1 sound, region-free (out of the box - no hack), plays every media I've been able to throw at it; divx, mpg, vcd, svcd, mp3, dvd-r, dvd+r, dvd-rw, cd-rw
browse gmarket.co.kr and you'll find dozens in that price range with all those features. Buying and shipping overseas will definitely bring you over the cost of a new one here. |

I'd go with this one too. Man, we need to get a thread of good PC/electronic sites. I'll make one, hold on. |

Good link there... I just had a look. Can't tell if these players will do both NTSC and PAL though... Does the one you bought do both? |

| Yeah it can do ntsc or pal, just have to switch it in the menu. I couldn't find the same player again when, but the name is so easy. |

Thanks for posting that link; I'm checking it out right now. I'm looking at a DVD player that is "code free". Is that Konglish for regions free?
I found one here that looks pretty good. |

code-free = region free.
The player you linked to looks pretty good and the customer comments are good too. |
