toshiba 210e, multi region??
i just sold my phillips 711 and purchased the tosh. i did this after hearing people raving about it on this site. most of my dvds are not region 2, theyre either 1 or 4, however the tosh wont play my region 1 discs but seems to be ok with region 4. whats going on??? have i just flogged my multi region phillips to end up with a player that wont play most of my collection?? advice please.
The vast majority of R4 discs are usually okay to play on R2 machines. As for your R1 discs, sorry mate you`ll need to get the `210 modified. No known hacks for Tosh machines.
RE: toshiba 210e, multi region??
how where and how much??? is it worth it or should i get my cash back and buy something thats hackable?
Get a refund if you can.
It`s far more cost-effective to buy a player that`s already been modified, or one that`s handset hackable, than to get a player "chipped" after you`ve bought it.
Compare prices for region mods versus ready-modified Toshiba players - for example:

PS: As Clayts mentioned before, a large percentage of R4 discs are "dual coded" (i.e. they are coded for region 2 as well as region 4), which is why you`ve been able to play them on your R2-only Tosh.
