    The Region-Free Samsung UBD-M8500 is new from Samsung's Ultra HD Blu-ray line up. This unit is not available in stores, as it has been professionally modified to play any disc from any region. It is also equipped with internal Pal/NTSC conversion and worldwide voltage (for use with 110 to 240 volts).
