Futurama Europe Blu-rays - Region issue - Blu-ray Forum

ChrisDilke · 09-04-2009, 01:01 AM

I'm a big fan of Futurama but I have an issue concerning the UK Blu-rays of Bender's Game and Into The Wild Green Yonder. Amazon lists them both as Region A encoded yet they are shown with the front covers including the UK's 12 certificates. As I don't have an all regions player (mine is a Panasonic DMP-BD35) I need to know if this information is wrong, or if the discs aren't region locked and will otherwise work on a UK model. If they won't then I'll just have to buy them on standard DVD.

I've bought Bender's Game through Amazon UK and it plays fine on my region A player. I guess the same is valid the other way around. Into the Green Wild Yonder, I don't own so I can't verify for that one.

Both the US/Canadian and UK/Australian releases of Futurama: Bender's Game and Futurama: Into The Wild Green Yonder are region free discs.

I suspect that Amazon.UK either did not have US artwork (that is missing the UK certifications) or they simply used the same listing for the UK release.

You can buy it with confidence that whichever release is sent to you will work on your Region B player.
