I think the cheapest DVD player is the DAEWOO DVD-4000S from Target for 
$79.99.

Go to

http://www.nerd-out.com/darrenk/Daewoo_DVG4000S/DVG-4000S.htm

and check out the three ways to change the region with the remote 
control. I was able to change the region to bypass on my DVD-4000S with 
the first option. I've played Japanese (region 2) DVDs and a French PAL 
(region 2?) DVD on it with no problems. My TV is a standard NTSC.

I use this machine at home.

Other options are from

http://www.world-import.com/dvd.htm

or

http://www.220-electronics.com/

but these will be some what more money.
