I had never heard of region free, and had no clue what it was, I don't know anything about ordering DVD's from China, but we just bought a new HDTV when I couldn't find any cheaper tube tv's out there anymore and found the whole experience frustrating, plasma or DLP?? I just wanted a TV, we only had one and the picture went out.
I'm not saying anything to start trouble, but I've had a computer for 10 years and still only e-mail, use quicken and check blogs, so I am not the most tech savy person out there.
Our DVD player went out next, and OH MY G*D, $399 for a blue-ray, SH*T, after the new HDTV there is no way we can afford this, so thanks for the information on an upconverting player for a lot less money, everyone at the store told us we needed a blue-ray to work with this TV. We've done without, our DVD's are old and we borrow from the library, so this will work for a few years I hope.
BYW we bought a 5 year extended warrenty because they said the slightest thing will cause this thing to go out, was this a mistake, I can still return the warrenty. I really miss my 12 year old 42 inch TV.
