I want to buy a bluray player from the states, pls help

Mr. Psychologist · August 07, 2015, 06:32:56 AM

Long story short, I hate region coding and since the only region free bluray player is £200 on amazon it'd be cheaper to just import a yank bluray player since they are like $50.

So, can anyone recommend a bluray player make/model? etc and bonus points if it is one that amazon will ship across the atlantic <_<

Xbox One has Blu ray, doesn't it?

REGION CODING

Let me get this straight.

He lives in the green zone, but got his Xbox One from another zone, so he wants a bluray that works with every zone, because limiting it to his zone alone isn't for him?

If that's the case, then he buys his blu ray discs online as well.

Alright, now I get it.

Desty · August 07, 2015, 06:47:43 AM

Why does region coding exist?

Desty · August 07, 2015, 06:49:56 AM

"By some estimates, nearly 70 percent of Blu-ray discs carry no code at all."

Do you want to be 100% sure about your purchase working then, Mr P?

Septy · August 07, 2015, 06:52:45 AM

Doesn't Bong bluray have a special 50hz refresh rate or something.

Desty · August 07, 2015, 06:53:53 AM

Wait a minute, so just America? Why don't you JUST buy the "yank" one then? Is that what you're gonna do unless someone answers your call?

If you want a yank blu ray, then you bought the Xbox one from your region, and if that's the case, you only really need to buy an american blu ray.

I'm guessing that 20% of the time, the discs you want will be from other regions.

Desty · August 07, 2015, 06:56:52 AM

There are three regions, you've got one, so if you buy the american one, you have 2/3.

I'm sure that these 2/3 will provide videos that are from the third region as well.

we're talking $150 extra for one region.

and if that's the case, and a bluray from america costs 50 bucks, another one from Asia should also cost roughly that amount, in which case buying two bluray players would be better than buying the universal one.

Am I wrong here?

Yeah, so my xbone is UK and my bluray player is UK and most of my blurays are UK too. However I have some US blurays and I want to buy more (because it's cheaper/only available there) via amazon.com as opposed to amazon.uk. I'm green, I want orange.

Mr. Psychologist · August 07, 2015, 07:08:45 AM

And alright hold the fuck on, desty you posted about 6 different questions in here so I'll do them all in one blob in a second but first I have to clean up the thread.

*sigh*

A blue ray player is a blue ray player. You'll be fine just buying the cheapest one you can find with a recognizable brand

You only really have to answer the last reply from me.

Mr. Psychologist · August 07, 2015, 07:18:10 AM

Hokai to hopefully address all of desty's points;

I've got UK region bluray capabilities and content, that is all fine.
I have US region bluray content and future content I wish to buy, but I need a bluray player with US region capabilities.

Region Coding exists because of the jews who run the NWO and enjoy making it inconvenient for me to watch chinese cartoons and serial killer TV shows in my own home without streaming them via VPNs/stramsites.

But yeah, I don't intend to buy Asia region content (no eng subtitles if it's not a worldwide release) so I wouldn't need a gookblurayplayer I'd just need a yank one and then I'm set.

If I was buying a UK one I'd do that, but since I wouldn't really be able to return it to the manufacturer should something go awry I'd like the most reliable one that people know of since the reviews seem to be russian roulette on amazon anyway.

In this statement, you say that a universal one costs £200, so you're going for the american one, which costs £50.

Is the thing about the universal one a platitude?

A comparison, the cost of importing an american bluray player is significantly cheaper than buying a region free bluray player from a UK retailer.

Then if there's no chance that you're buying a universal one from a UK retailer or not, it's more of a rant seeing as how it's not going to shift any decisions. You're set on buying a blu ray that works with america.

Don't think I'm attacking you with my pedantry, it's just how I am as a person.

So I'd either need to buy an adapter, which shouldn't be too bad orrrrrrrrrrrrrr this has foiled my plan.

In addition to the plug shape, which is all most adapters take care of, what's your standard electrical voltage?

Additionally, are the foreign devices compatible with your local TV?

Adaptors shouldn't be hard to get a hold of and if you need one, as long as you don't get a shit tier one, it'll serve you well.

You're gonna need an adapter and possibly a surge protector as well, depending on the voltage of your blu-ray player.

Ah bloody hell, I might just have to save up for the region free one then ;_;

All this faff ontop of having to have it shipped across the world is helping my decision <_<

They're really not that expensive though. A surge protector won't cost you more than 10£ (and might not even be necessary, just look at the UK voltage and the one on your blu-ray player) and US to UK adapters are like 5 a piece.

oh

Hmm, well I might give it a bit more of a look. It would be extortionate to buy one in the UK <.<
