Unfortunately it appears that this is NOT a Multi Region player via a remote hack, but can be made multi region (including RCE!!) by being chipped. multizonedvd.com sell both a chipped and unchipped version, of which I have boughtthe former. Just have to wait for the New Year when they start shipping again!
I don`t know if they`ll supply the chipping service after you`ve already purchased the player, but I know www.techtronics.com do, but don`t know what they`ll charge.
