I too would like a BD player that is all region and PAL->NTSC for DVDs. That is why so many people are waiting for Oppo to put out a BD player.
You do realize, that BD doesn't have the PAL/NTSC issue, just region coding, and that's different from DVDs.

...That's why I was puzzled by the original post, cuz theoretically, shouldn't the all region BDs play fine? I misread his original post and didn't realize he was talking about his DVDs - the R1 R2 shoulda clued me in, that's what I get for trying to do two things at one time. DUH.
Yup, I want to get down to one video player - PLEASE. Oppo would be perfect because they do the conversion and upscaling so well. I'm afraid we're gonna wait awhile for the BD Oppo model. sheesh

Here's a couple of R1 + R2 players - 4season 08:19:19 05/24/08 (3)
I'm kind of surprised, because I thought it was all software-controlled, and hence, would be broken by the first firmware update, but looks like I was wrong. I haven't dealt with these folks before, but the site has been online for a year or more.

  I think this thread has gotten a little jumbled.
  We were talking about BD players, and whether or not they would play multiple regions of DVDs, not to mention PAL-> NTSC. As a side note, BDs do not have PAL or NTSC coding.
  It is assumed, they the eventual Oppo BD player will be region free for DVds as well as convert PAL-> NTSC, though I suspect it will have to have the BD region coding.

  - R1+R2 B-D players are listed on the sidebar - 4season 11:12:43 05/24/08 (1)
    No mistake.

      Still not PAL to NTSC, but its definitely a step in the right direction.
