Region-Free Titles - Blu-ray Forum

Neftoon · 11-04-2006, 10:08 AM

Hello,
Over here in Region B some US titles will play on our players and others which are actually encoded do not. I was wondering if there was any one here who might be able to tell me of discs that won't work on their region b machines which they have gotten from the states.
So Far these titles have worked no problems on my player:
The Fifth Element
The Fugitive
The Corpse Bride
Tomb Raider

And this one has come as belonging to another region.
The Brothers Grimm.

Any one able to tell me discs I can safely buy from the states?

I am in the UK and have a British Samsung player. I have tried the following USA Blu-Ray discs, here are the results. Blazing Saddles, Corpse Bride and Houe of Wax all played okay, but Eight Below and Brothers Grimm would not due to region restriction. So its seems Warner Bros titles are okay at the moment but Disney are not. Do not know about Paramount or Columbia

I have ordered another six Warner Bros titles, will let you know if they play okay.

Lets hope somebody finds a way of making the Blu Ray players multi-region. This is my only gripe with Blu-Ray at the moment.

Paul.
