Multi Region DVD Player ~ Options.

[ShadowDancer]

I've bought my Dad a R1 DVD (not player, animated film) as its only available in the US.

We don't at the moment have a US Player and so far all my Current Gen consoles are PAL and unmodded.

I read they're codes/hacks you can get to get you DVD player to work region 1 if it was region 2/visa versa.

The DVD player is a Samsung DVD-R136.

I guess, i'll just buy a budget Multi player, but thought i'd ask here incase they're other options.
