I ordered from amazon last night the Philips DVP642 with the region free
from amazon, but the seller was someone else. then today went to target and
got it so I guess i have to cancel with amazin/the real seller. crap cus i
wasted $22 for shipping lol. it shipped today too already so i need to
cancel it and also refuse delivery drop off from ups.
