Quite a few people have had a Creature from the Black Lagoon disc which is faulty. So check to see if the disc is defective (you can actually see the flaw on the underside of the disc). Fingers crossed you don't get a bad disc! UK members have had working discs quite recently so all the faulty ones may have been in the 1st pressing of the set.

I just ordered the UK version of Battlestar Galactica the complete series which is Region Free. I was assuming I would have no issue with it playing on my PS3. Can someone answer if that is the case? If not I just ordered so I can cancel the order.

If you check the specs, you can see they are the exact same discs as the ones in America....
