First region-free Blu-ray player?

Well not actually region free but a dual region player. Swedish company DVDirect claim they have made a dual region Samsung BD-1400 player. It should play A and B regions Blu-rays and region 1 and 2 DVDs.

I think regions won't be a problem in a little while... Just have to wait a bit longer, that's all

Also the prices will drop and all... You know how it goes...

This looks suspect to me.

The BD-1400 is just a BD player like any other. It's certainly not dual region.

Of course it's not dual region out of the box. I read on a Swedish forum that they might have modified so that it has two firmwares. I guess we have to wait until someone in Sweden buys one and posts some information about it.

Thanks.

Hmm. that still sounds suspect. Surely if someone had managed to work out how to alter the firmware to make it dual BD regional coded it would've been all over the net?

That's some big news IMO.

It looks and sounds really cool. If I live in Sweden right now I would contact them imediately and schedule a meeting for them to show me this dual region capabilty.

It's definitely something worth keeping an eye on.
