Is there a Blu Ray player under £100 with a region free hack code

I`m trying to find a decent Blu Ray player under £100 off the high street or online that will play multi region DVD`s (and Blu Rays but DVD`s more importantly for my back catalog)..

I thought finding a hack code would be easy as it was for a dvd player but this is my first blu ray player purchase and I cant seem to find any for the models I`ve checked - Samsung, Toshiba or Sony.

Maybe I`ll have to keep the old dvd player and just buy an additional blu ray player?

Thanks for any help/guidance.

RE: Pioneer dv-444-s multi region.

Is the Pioneed DV-444 only multi-region if it has been chipped? Its just my friend said he has just got one for Christmas from a Highstreet shop (not sure which one as it was a present) and it plays American (Region 1) DVD`s without any problems.

Thanks
Colin

(ps Sorry I dont have any info about hacking it)

Problem playing THE PATRIOT (R2) on an ALBA 103 DVD player

I bought an Alba 103 dvd player from Toys R Us and was fairly happy with it as a multi-region entry level player.

However it will not play the newly released R2 version of The Patriot, instead it stays in the menu screen.

Has anyone else had this problem and overcome it ?

I know there was/is a Menu problem with the Alba`s when first released and you cannot start them in R1 or R2 mode so there are some problems with some discs - you cant play RCE discs because of this.
Does anyone know if this has been corrected in the new batch of players currently on sale in Toys R Us ?

Cheers for any help.

Alba 103 problems playing The Patriot (R2)

Unfortunately the Alba 103 I purchased from Toys R Us as an entry level DVD player does not play RCE discs as stated by someone else.

Also I have had a number of problems with other discs which I think maybe due to the faulty menu system - ie. Can only play R1 Stuart Little movie but cant look at any features.

Now where the above is fairly acceptable, I have now got a problem playing R2 Patriot where it keeps skipping back to the main menu and will not play the film at all.

Has anyone else had this problem and overcome it ?

Does anyone know if Alba have repaired the menu problem and Toys R Us are selling the new repaired ones ?

Thanks for any info
