Kim's sells grey market units typically made without licenses to the DVD patent portfolio in places like China, and units that are more legal but that have been cracked. The latter are supplied with instruction sheets describing how to disable region coding. Some of these sheets actually say things like "we can't be responsible for the effects, but if you were to push the following buttons in the following sequence..." I am unaware of legal region-free players being generally available in the US, although I may be wrong on this. -- Perry E.
