Now, the BD Player I have is fine for blu-rays, considering it's 3 years old now, but it has a problem reading a lot of my older dvds. I'm sitting here watching xXx for the first time in a decade at least, and the mid-ending was skipping for a few minutes. Same has happened with other dvds that had worked fine on other players for years. So I think it's time to look for something I can get, whether it's a dvd player or a BD player, and loom into getting it for my dvds (or start upgrading these DVDs to BDs... once I win the lottery of course).
Any ideas? Also, anyone know where to get a good region free BD player, or if it's possible to ship a region player here and get a plug converter?

Here's some region free Blu-ray players at decent prices. I might grab one myself after the holidays. link |

From the looks of it, no matter what it will cost around $150 minimum to get it being region free. That... might be doable.

I'd probably take the $99 one, but I'm cheap like that.

Well, making the bd player completely region free costs 40 more.

Oh right, didn't even see that. Gonna look around for some more.
Found some on E-bay fairly cheap, but after paying shipping they'd cost about the same.

I'm sure there's deals to be found, after Christmas would probably be the time. Maybe Tiger Direct will have a good sale.

If only I was a millionaire.
I'd have a movie and comic collection I'd buy a house for, and turn my basement into a mini theater.

Just knowing I'd never have to worry about bills again would be great. Then I'd go buy a ton of ish, lol.

I'd pay off cable, electric and phone years in advanced. Buy a home straight up. Hire a private chef, nutritionist and work out model (you read that right). Take care of family, etc.

$139 for all regions is amazing.
