Vtec sell a kit called i-mod which can be used to modify Pioneer DVD players. I'm trying to get hold of one, but they cost $500 each, and subsequent 'credits' to modify each player cost $20. The credits are simply software licenses. I wish to modify my AX10, which is the big brother of the 747 you're talking about. It is stated on the vtec website that this is possible.Because the 747 is new, the website doesn't mention that it's hackable with the same kit, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is.
However $500 for the kit is ridiculous, unless you get a group of friends to do the same thing.
You're probably better off waiting for the US release, or trying to get one from HK where region coding is less strictly enforced.
