it depends on what kind of "multi-region" you want. The best thing and by far the cheapest way is to go to the region hack forum, just make sure that a cheapo player your looking for can be region hacked (most likely.) Then find out what model best suits you and go down to your local woolworths, asda, tesco, etc and buy one.
Laters, Andy
P.S. Buy dvd`s from the oz and you`ll save £££`s!!!

I`d add my voice to those singing the praises of the Minato G1. I paid £129 for mine (it`s cheaper still now) and consider it excellent value at that price. Excellent picture/sound worthy of far greater outlay, plus all the splendid features outlined elsewhere. Only drawbacks are that it looks as cheap as it is and sometimes has difficulty with extreme contrasts of light source and background which can lead to mild streaking. That aside, it`s a great machine which seems to be more reliable than other slightly more expensive bargains and I`d thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking to spend a little over a ton. And it`s dead easy to hack too!
Which reminds me, has anyone discovered if the hack is limited?

Does anyone know if the Alba 113 or 104 play CDR/CDRW? also are they multi region out of the box?
Thanks in advance

Cyberhome 512 from Richer Sounds - burn your own Rom up/downgrade and away you go....£119.95, £19.99 for an excellent 3 year warranty (money back if not used). If anyone wants one, I`ve got a Rom CD burnt ready to go - tested (on mine!). Or £129.99 for the LG3200
