Eiden tax-free in Nagoya had region-free, multi-voltage, PAL/NTSC
compatible DVD players for 17000 yen the other day - they'll deliver
I'm sure.  Here's their address:
EIDEN DUTY FREE OSU
3-30-93,Osu,Naka-ku,Nagoya-shi,Aichi 460-0011 Japan
TEL:052-242-8595  FAX:052-242-8509 

They speak English BTW.

NO - I didn't buy one for the trip to the UK - I DID buy a hot-water
pot - though frankly the concept of NOT putting the kettle on is a
little lost on my parents.
