Blu-ray Forum - View Single Post - Buying BDs from the UK (for North Americans)

I noticed that the UK has some pretty damn good prices on BDs. I purchased planet earth from the UK and the shipping rate was reasonable and delivery time was reasonable.

My question is...how do I know what movies I can purchase from Amazon UK that are 100% compatible with my BD player?

I've seen websites that say a certain movie is region free, but when I look on AmazonUK site it says PAL format.

I want to insure that the movie as well as the extras are region free. No point in buying a movie but the supplemental material is non-viewable.

Hoping for some direction.
