If you have a large collection of non-Region 1 DVDs, then a player that "plays them all" is probably the way to go. However, if you're like me and only have a small list of non-Region 1 DVDs, that's not the way to go. By the way, if you go the DVD Decrypter/DVD Shrink route, you can get rid of all the annoying crap at the beginning of the disc (warnings, previews, etc), set the copy up with the soundtrack on the disc that you prefer (if you so choose), change the region coding (to any region you want) and have the disc start the movie as soon as it goes in the player -- no need to even hit PLAY. Since blank dual-layer DVDs are around $1 each, the cost is minimal per disc you create (both programs are free).

The other region players are in storage: I'll be selling those as well.
