There are plenty of places that sell DVD players with the region lock removed. I bought a Pioneer DV-606D from DVD City. It autodetects the zone and you never even notice that it has zones. In England Code Free DVD sells really nice ones that are guaranteed to work on all DVDs, even in the future, but they are more expensive, and most of them require that you change zones on the remote everytime you change to a disc with a different zone. I'm sure that there are more places too, but those were the two main ones I looked at.
