I decided to make purchases for two additional backup Blu-ray players, since available options seem to be slowly disappearing. I think these players will soon cease being manufactured except maybe for some of the higher end audiophile players. I have a fairly large collection of UK Region B Blu-ray sets, so I want to continue having access to playing them long-term here in US Region A territory. I currently own three Blu-ray players:
Oppo BDP-93 standard Blu-ray player, hardware modified for Region Free, mounted in my home theater room rack;
Oppo UDP-203 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray Player, hardware modified for Region Free, mounted in my home theater room rack;
Philips BDP1300, a low-end basic Blu-ray player connected to my 1080p Television in my living room.
I am adding these two Blu-ray players to my reserves:
Panasonic DMP-BD Region Free standard Blu-ray player (Hardware modified for Region Free by 220-Electronics)
Panasonic DP-UB450 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray Player (Top Menu bypass of Region lock)
I also have 5 PCs in my home with Blu-ray drives installed - 2 Windows 11 and 3 Windows 10 PCs, all capable of playing region free Blu-rays with Leawo Player installed. I suppose I should be OK for region free capabilities for a while now.
