I should explain "gotta". The PAL>NTSC is for my DVDs only. But I want *one* machine that will play BDs and R1-2-4 DVDs. I have many standard DVDs from UK/Europe and a couple from R4 that I doubt will be on BD any time soon. I hate having so many boxes to play movies, hate hooking up so much stuff. I can live with it short term, but I don't like it.
I wish Oppo had their BD model ready but that probably won't happen any time soon.
Since it looks like the Oz/German discs were the same, it doesn't matter where it comes from for my purposes. But for the 20-30 other non R1 standard DVDs I really need that BD region free, DVD PAL>NTSC thing. So far the only ones I've seen available from HK or Europe are $800-1000.
The good news is that so far all of the Europe only BDs I want are region free.
