https://www.220-electronics.com/ is having a sale. I have bought several players from them and they've been great

Now, I know what your thinking, are region free players piracy? Well, it depends which country you live in

It's essentially a player which ignores the region locks on bluray discs.

Found the millenial

millenial? Some of us are now in our forties. We grew up in the format wars

the VHS vs Beta format wars, not the HD-DVD vs Blu-ray format wars for the young'ns out there.

Digital format wars were a thing while Blockbuster was still around. They know both

Millennial because they grew up only knowing MP3s and digital media and didn't get to experience disc based media. :p

Dvds have more regions, 6, while blu-rays just have 3
