It's years ago that I last researched this, but I love my Apex 600A DVD player - they cornered the market in region-free players for a while. I think there are many other players now, but they were the first to flaunt the stupid Region rules.
I use it to watch Anime brought back from Japan that has not been released in the US yet (though that list is shrinking as Anime finally catches on here). Having the highest quality sound and picture is not critical for me, I get those from a mainstream US only player from Sony - but the sony does not play a lot of formats - and the Apex plays everything.
Holy Smokes the world has changed, I googled region free DVD players - and got lots of sites:
