Im interested in getting the Samsung 811 instead of the 511 and was cheaking out the pirces online and i see that Unbeatable.co.uk are selling it for £167.69
I was wondering why thy would sell it that cheap when the usual selling price for it is about £280.
Does anyone own a 811? And if so what do they think of it?
Also has anyone ordered from Unbeatable?
Cheers.

Haven`t got one but it was the one I nearly bought instead of my LG3350. The reviews I`ve read of the 811 were very good indeed. The only problem is whether it is multiregoin hackable or not. the two reviews I read were conflicting on this matter. But the price seems a definite bargain.

in Total DVD it said it was Multiregion and in DVD Buyer it stated it was not! If it is it`s a bargain.

The 811 is hackable to any-region but only models fitted with European firmware. The US firmware has all the hack codes removed.

Unfortunantly, the is no Macrovision disable, but I dont bother with Macrovision myselft.
