However, I now have a Sony player and tried to play Hellgate on it, and the player starts reading the disc, then returns you to the Home Screen (I have Hell Comes to Frogtown as well but didn't bother testing it since I assume the same thing will happen).
So my questions: On Hellgate and Hell Comes to Frogtown (or any of the other Arrows) are you supposed to see a screen come up saying "Region B only" like I described with my Samsung player.? Or is there a different trick with these titles? Does this "Region B only" screen not appear on Sony machines? Should I maybe bring out the old Samsung out of retirement?

The "top menu" trick for
Return of the Living Dead does work on my Sony BDP-S370, but that doesn't involve the stop button or anything, just press "top menu" when the region warning comes up and the disc loads.
I'm still waiting on a couple of region-locked Arrow discs
to see if I can get beyond the region-locked screen or not. If I find that it doesn't work, I'll try to compile a list of players that may be compatible.
