I'm new to the group, hence the extremely tardy reply to this
thread. Your other alternative to purchasing a region free player is
to buy a piece of software which will copy a DVD regardless of region
encoding into other formats such as DivX or the iPod's mp4 format
without the region encoding. There are several available for all
platforms (Windows, Mac & Linux). The one I use is called "Fair
Use" (the name refers to the slightly tested legal principle that
one is permitted to make a copy of a legitimately purchased music or
video product if the copy will only be used for one's personal use).
The web site for this is

I've converted all of my region 2 disks using this utility.
