This site offers firmware updates that will allow you to play a dvd from any region. Some have also reported that they can now burn dual-layer -R/-RW and burn at higher speeds than their drive says.

Make sure you know what you are doing.

Before flashing your drive to RPC1, please, please, understand what you are doing! We are getting sick and tired of reading and responding to posts from people who have cluelessly flashed to RPC1 and then act surprised and bemused that it doesn’t function how they expected. If you have not used an RPC1 firmware before you really need to learn a few things first, because it probably doesn’t work the way you imagine it does.
