Probably the best bang for your buck region free DVD player
Based on the advice of the movie master Myong's Madness, I finally purchased a do it all DVD player, the Phillips DVP642. This is mainly for playing downloaded movies and foreign DVDs that are coded with a different region than the U.S. I got it from Compusa for $60.

So basically, you can watch foreign porn?
I wasn't talking about that kind of bang for your buck! haha But it is possible.
So lemme see if I understand... You can get (cheap) foreign DVDs and watch them on this. Or you can download movies, burn them to disc, and watch them. Good price!
I'm still looking for a network device that can do the same without the need of discs. Streaming audio and video would be cool.
There's a code you need to enter to make it Region Free. It's:
1. Turn on the player.
2. Open the tray.
3. Press the following sequence on the remote:
7 8 9 OK 0
4. The number 0 will appear on the lower left side of your screen.
5. Your player is now region free! Put in a DVD and enjoy! :)
NOTE: The 0 in the sequence above represents the region code. 0 = region free. If you want to change your player to just a specific region code, replace the 0 with the region number you want.
I can give you a few Region 3 discs so that u can check if it works. Also, since you bought a newer machine you may not have to upgrade the firmware, but I'll give you a disc with a movie and srt file to see if the subs show up.
Congratulations!
How do you know about foreign porn?
Also, one of the better features besides being Region Free and playing avi files is that it has that optical audio output for people who have home theater systems. It's supposed to be better than a regular audio connection.
Wayne is interested in anything foreign, especially the porn from each country.
You can do both - get cheap foreign DVDs or VCDs or download movies burn em to disc and watch em.
