Page 1 of Are there any Sony Multiregion Hacks?

Hi, my Parents got me a Sony NS3000 DVD player for my 18th Birthday in may, i have been looking to get some DVDs imported from the US but i havent been able to find any kind of Multi region hacks for any Sonys at all,

i cant exactly go and get another player since it would proberly really upset my parents since they thought they got me a good DVD player

thanks,

Sony`s *are* good players. But you cannot hack them with the handset. Many people here will tell you that the only way you can play multiregion on your Sony now will be to get it chipped.

do you know any reputable companys that chip them

i know its just a entry level player but it is a damn good player i just want to get decent dvds, like the r1 predator not the edited to buggery r2 version

You have to bear in mind when comparing mods that most cheap mods for this player will not be RCE compatible .... but like you say it`s a cheap player so is it really worth spending a fortune on getting it modded for RCE compatiblility when only 8 ( correct me if I`m wrong) RCE dvd`s currently exist

I got my chip from a place in Acton. I does the job as far as R1 discs are concerned but will not play RCE discs.

I can`t speak for Steve here but he seems both knowledgeable and reputable.

I buy R1 discs but get new Columbia Tristar on R2 - old Columbia Tristar aren`t RCE. I barely had to wait for CTHD for example.

Depends how much you are willing to fork out.
