Hi there,
Currently there are no multi-region Blu Ray players. In fact I am not sure if there are any Blu Ray Players that even have multi region SD DVD capabilities. I could be wrong on the latter though.
This is not the be all end all though that it may seem. It is up to the studios whether or not they place a specific region on a disc and at the mo, it only really seems to be FOX and New Line that are doing that.
Therefore there are an awful lot of imports that you can buy that are region free.
If however you wish to buy solely US titles and are therefore wary of some titles being region locked, I would recommend that you buy a US player.
I have no idea if Blu Ray region coding will ever be hacked like it was with DVD. Am sure that eventually some guy will do such but for now I guess, one has to assume that it won't happen.
There are a great many sites telling you which titles are region free etc. One really good one, which also sells US players, is Movietyme. They actually test the discs to check them as opposed to sourcing info from other sites.
