I've been told that, in most U.S. stores, you can request a "region-free" version of almost and DVD player you want, and they will give it to you, no extra charge. But I have yet to test this information, and I confess I doubt it's that simple (I have little confidence in the average electronics store salesperson to either know or care about the difference, and wouldn't trust them to give me a region-free box just because I asked for it).
