Multi-region DVD player vs. Blue Ray player?

[Kelster34]

I want to get a multi-region DVD player but I was wondering, should I get a blue ray player instead? Is there such thing as a blue-ray player that will play multi region DVDs too? If so, any recommendations?

The BDA frowns on multi-region players and would not like BD to be region free.
As of now, there are no region free DVD and BD combo.

From what i read, the OPPO BD 83 does have a firmware hack that can read different BD region discs.

Its probably cheaper to get separate units, one for RF DVD and the other for BD playback.

One of the reasons why I bought HD DVD.

There is. Denon's 2010CI, I have it and don't really care for Multi Region DVD's. Check out AVS Forum.

For the cost, you're probably better off getting a DVD player that is either all region or can easily be made so for <$50.
