Here's a good site below for checking whether a disc is region free (ABC) or region locked. Region A includes both US and Japan so that's nice for a change from SD DVDs.
Somewhere close to 70% of the releases appear to be unlocked. Some of the locked BDs are also released in US. I only found one film out of 16 I wanted (This Is England) that wasn't ABC.
I dunno that it's necessary to buy a RB player yet. The films I'm interested in buying aren't available on this side of the pond in BD and may never be. Exploited Cinema is a great site to get Euro imports from. I've also used Amazon UK very happily.
