There have been discussions of this in the past on this list before,
so check the archives.
I recommend http://www.zonefreedvd.com/ We got the Sampo DVE-612, a
DVD player that is "code-free" (would play DVDs from any region and
not lock into any one) which plays both NTSC and PAL DVDs on my NTSC
TV -- as well as MP3 CDs. All for $300 plus shipping.
Cheers,
Margo
