Soniq QPB302B blu-ray player from JB Hi-Fi for $99. A surprisingly decent unit. I purchased it solely because it's blu-ray (and DVD) region settings can be changed by remote, allowing me to play any Region A BD discs.

If anyone wants to purchase this unit for the same reason I did, make sure that the serial number's first seven digits are P36TF5B. Research I did last night showed that units that starts with any other serial numbers (apart from P36TF5C allegedly) don't allow the region settings to be changed.

Thanks for the tip. Not a bad price for the unit. Something we are looking at when the time comes to upgrade our TV and player units.

But I'm sure there would be a way of making it region free. My dad found a site that unlocks any DVD player (well probably not all, but most) and there is probably a website for Bluray by now. But I could be wrong. Haven't been looking for them yet.

Thanks for the tip.

No problem. Only downside is for the blu-ray region settings you'll need to change it each time you load a different region blu-ray disc. That's a small price to pay though.

My research shows that the BD region settings on most blu-ray players can't be changed without physical modification to the hardware. Pretty unfortunate.
