Hi,
Noticed that MULTI-SYSTEM INC are selling a region free player player on Amazon.co.uk.

the player is a Sony BDP-S5200. it's had some good reviews.

Has anyone bought this player from MULTI-SYSTEM INC?

I'm assuming you mean region free for dvd use ? As blu ray has about 98% of its content region free

I had not realised Blu-rays were that region free, I had bought a software player to give me multi-region, since this seems a very expensive option for dedicated blu-ray players.
Looking at a few of my discs Criterion blu-ray releases are an exception, Days or heaven / Paris Texas are both region 'A', City lights (park circus) is region B.

Yeah the criterion stuff is special tho

No I was meaning region free for blu-ray.

A third party are selling the players on Amazon.

I was trying get to say blu ray is practically region free. No Idea what the matkup is on a region free player. Don't see the point tbh
