What’s the cheapest/easiest way to get a non-region locked Blu Ray player? (lemmy.world)

I have a couple of Eureka! releases - “Region B” - that I’d like to watch. My (US) PS4 won’t play them, and apparently there’s a limited number of times you can change the region on it.

I see that Blu Ray drive peripherals exist for computers, but my TV is my computer monitor and a separate player seems like a smarter option.

I don’t tend to buy things new, and get most of my tech from thrifting. Are there any particular brands of Blu Ray players that are more likely to be region free? Is there a quick way of looking at a Blu Ray player and determining what region it can play?

Same as EMPEROR, I purchased my Sony UBP-x800m2 from them and, even though it was not cheap, I use it nearly every day (including Region B discs). So, I would say that it was worth it.
