I`m considering getting a pioneer DV444 software modifed for all regions , partly because I want to play svcd`s that my old 515 won`t play.

But I can only get it software modified with automatic region selection. It`s still supposed to play RCE coded disc though. I`m not sure wether to sell my old(which I change region maunally) for this one, since I`m not sure how long it will work until the movie companies figure a way to still detect which region your player is.

Any suggestions?
