code free = all zone / region free?
Here in NZ pretty much every dvd player is sold region free because we live in a crappy zone and no one wants to be stuck with a player that can only play zone 4 dvds. From what I've heard from dealers most of this is done through service menus built into dvd players that you can access by pressing strange sequences of buttons on the remote. So maybe instead of buying a dodgy zone-free player you should just find a few players you like then type the name of that player and the word "hack" into google.

Other players need new firmware (usually from a .rar file burnt to a cdr) but that might change other stuff so do some research before you go down that route.

Good luck.
