Is there any Region Free or All Region BD Player in the market?

http://www.businesstimes.com.sg/archive/th...regions-highest Published June 28, 2012 Income inequality here seen as one of the region's highest 9 in 10 polled can't tell which income bracket they're in By lim wei sheng IT'S a head-scratching paradox. While Singaporeans perceive income inequality levels here as being one of the highest in the region, nine out of 10 don't even know which income bracket they belong to. According to a March 2012 survey of 10 Asia-Pacific cities by Fidelity Worldwide Investment, of the 90 per cent of Singaporeans who do not know which income bracket their household belongs to, 68 per cent underestimate and 22 per cent overestimate it. This leads to the poorest households in the first decile perceiving themselves as situated in the third decile, while those in the wealthiest 10th decile locate themselves within the more modest sixth decile. These misperceptions have implications for investment decisions, according to Betty Ng, director of investment communications, Asia Pacific at Fidelity. She said that overestimation can lead to overspending, while underestimation may cause investors to lose returns due to excessive risk-aversion or risk-taking. Income inequality fears remain very much alive, though. Based on responses by the 507 Singaporeans surveyed, a typical household needs to earn an average of $2,662 in monthly pre-tax income to be qualified as low-income, and earn an average of $12,140 to be qualified as high-income. The difference between what constitutes low and high income is the widest for respondents in Singapore, suggesting that respondents here perceive the greatest inequality in their current incomes. Three in four Singaporeans are also expecting widening spreads in income levels over the next 10 years, comparable to the regional average of 76 per cent. Only 42 per cent of Singaporeans believe that their household income would improve in the future, compared to 49 per cent for all 10 cities. Nevertheless, Singaporeans foresee a more optimistic future for their children, with 91 per cent of respondents believing that their children would attain middle or high income status when they reach their 40s. Indeed, 35 per cent of self-classified low-income respondents predicted that their children would attain high income status, while this proportion was 67 per cent for self-classified high-income respondents. Based on data from the Department of Statistics, average monthly household income in 2011 stood at $9,618, with income in the fifth decile standing at $7,032 while income in the 10th decile reached $27,867.

How come we are not surprised? That is only parking. What about the actual costs of owning a vehicle? Interesting to see this ranking instead.

In today's market, do you guys think that conti cars are built for specific region? For example, in Singapore, we are hot and humid, compare to say Europe and America where they have 4 seasons. I am always under the impression that car manufacturer no longer designed car just for a region. When they are testing their new design, they always go to the coldest place on earth to test, and when they need hot places, they go to some super hot desert to test also ... There are people in other forum talking about PI conti cars that are not tropicalised. Just wondering if it is true. Any views?

Will you still holiday around the region dispite swine flu? Places like Bangkok, Phuket, Vietnam, Bali, etc which requires travelling on planes, going to airports, and mixing with other foreign tourist. Or will you play safe and stay put in Singapore?

My Pioneer DV-355 (region free) is nearing it's shelf life. I've been to Courts and Giant (cheapo mah) and so far it's all Region 3 players. Any recommendations? OT...my Akira and Hyundai DVD players CMI...died within a year+. Can't read the discs (for Akira) and can't write (Hyundai recorder)

I wanna find out if any of u guys using japan import PS3 sets. Check online there is a new update for PS3 which will allow Japan and USA PS3 to share region codes. That shd means that region code 1 and 2 can be played on my Japan import PS3 eh? I was so happy and went to update my PS3. Immediately after tat, I went out to buy a dvd of region code 1, (Rocky Balboa). Went home happily to try it but it Failed to play. Incorrect region code format DVD. Anybody with the japan set facing similar problems eh?? Another thing to note, Y is it that region code 1 dvds have more stuffs than our local region code 3. The counter gal told me that Code 1 more ex as they got alot of additional "liao" like special interviews, uncensored xxx scenes and better video display output format. Y so unfair one?? Only thingy i not complaining is becos Code 3 Dvds are much cheaper.
