It's not to hard to find a DVD player that is regionless, many companies are manufacturing them now. The main problem, as yotta pointed out, is that Region 1 is NTSC while pretty much the rest of the world is PAL. As long as you get one that can convert NTSC to PAL you'll be fine.
This is just one of the many reasons that I built a standalone HTPC with a 9800 Pro AIW. I can play any DVD, VCD, SVCD or video file on my TV with no problem at all.
