Multi-region Blu-ray player?

[Bob The Skutter]

I've just noticed Movietyme.com are selling a multi-region Blu-ray player for £459.99, it's a bit expensive for my taste, but I thought I'd post it for anyone who may be interested.

You might want to look here.

I've bought a couple of modified DVD players from them in the past and never had a problem with them.

Looking at the one on Movietyme it's not modded, and it won't be effected by any firmware updates.
I only just bought a blu-ray player last week, so it'll be quite a while (hopefully) until I'm looking to buy one again, I just thought some people here may be interested. But thanks for the link anyway, I'll bookmark it and keep it in mind for when I need a second player, or replacement.

^I'm a bit suspicious about this because I'm not sure Panasonic are a company I'd expect to make a multiregion player.
