First region free Blu-ray players available

Quote:
Look no further for the follow-up to last year's multi-region Blu-ray players, with Bluraymods.com advertising a completely region free Panasonic DMP-BD30, available in either pre-modified or DIY kit formats. That's all 6 DVD regions and three Blu-ray regions for those keeping count, and it claims to still work with any firmware updates. The good news for import lovers is a price of ?499, considerably less than previous hardware, or ?69 for a mod kit.

Sorry,
Just went to their website and see my player is upgradeable.
Now my question is, does it work?

Has anyone done a BDP S300?

Good to hear. So you used the mod kit for a US BDP-S300 and now you can play Region B (EU) discs, right?

Correct indeed.
A fairly difficult rework- about 7 wires from kit pcb to motherboard and bd rom aswell as a flash component with about 60 pins, so not for the faint hearted- i'd say you'd really want to be a very experienced solderer at a minimum. mine actually didnt work initially so i had to hook up my scope and debug- support from the provider was excellent and we got it going eventually- was due to one of the wires being too long to signal integrity was comprimised, after shortening it its now as good as gold- region a/b player for about 300 euro all in all- not too bad even for a cork boyee!!!!
Happy camper now.
