You need to look for one of these super cheap (cost as little as equivalent of 80 dollars here in Europe) Chinese made DVD players. CAT or Red Star (and doubtless other names - they?re all the same) They are "region free" straight out of the box, though they don?t make a big deal of the fact - I guess its actually easier to make them that way, than with the regional settings. Sony and others offer region free players too, but for hundreds of dollars. I have an American friend here who bought a region free player with switchable power supply - ie. US or European voltage, so he could take it back with him to the US. Less than 100 dollars I think. I?ll try and find out the model if you want. I admit it is a bit extreme just to watch one film, though I?m sure there will be others you want to watch in future too.
hope that helps
cheers
