    A friend of mine is moving back to Ireland this year from New York & he has a large collection of blu-ray DVD's, which are NTSC format.

    His question is, can a multi region blu-ray DVD player be purchased here in Ireland?

    Thanks.

    Probably with an internet connection. :)

    Would they not be best bringing back a US player and getting an EU one here.

    I think that works out cheaper. The multiregion Denon's were coming in at €1800 I think.

    That's what I suggested to him but he wants to buy one for here as he will be commuting to & from NY 10 days of each month and will keep his house in NY.

    Is it possible to buy a PAL one & convert it using a code through the remote? Not sure on the legality of that though.

    A lot of Bluray discs are region free, a google search should get you a list of region free titles. He should bring the region free discs home and buy a cheap Bluray player eg sony, panasonic, samsung and leave the region locked disc in the US.
