Not about a dvd player but have you seen Martin's post on the Freebies (no spend required) Board about a free oyster card? It may save you some money on your travel costs.

Just through a quick look on the web - buy Alba DVD62XI at ASDA. £21.94 on the website. Looks like its £14.99+VAT from Makro if you know anyone who can get it there.

The ALBA DVD62XI dvd player is not multiregional out of the box, but there is a simple set of instructions to make it that way.

1. Turn on your TV and DVD player.
2. Press the Open/Close button on the remote control.
3. Using your remote control, key in the following numbers from the keypad: 3, 3, 0, 8, 8 one after the other,
4. Then immediately press the 10/0 button on the remote control to set the region to 0 which is the multiregional setting.
5. Pres the Open/Close button on the remote control.

Quick point of advice. There are cheaper players but they are normally not very common brands. That may make finding the multi region hack harder so stick to a cheap "common" branded player.
