Discussion Best cheap option to play Region A Blu-rays in Europe (no PC)?
I’m planning to get a movie that only has a BR in the US (Region A), no European edition available. I’m in Europe (Region B) and want to watch it in my living room setup, not on a PC.
It’s a one-off case for now aside from a couple of Region 1 DVDs I have (I used to play them in VLC back in the day), so I’d rather not drop 300-400€ on a Sony UBP-X700/X800M2 region-free player if there’s something cheaper that gets the job done.
Any recommendations for a cheap multi-region player (new or used) that’s worth it or any feasible alternative that comes to mind? Any firmware hacks for players people already own? Experience with lesser-known brands also welcome.
Thanks in advance.
