French SteelBooks™ that play in the US PS3 - Blu-ray Forum

chantm · 03-19-2009, 04:05 AM

Hey guys, I started this thread so that all of us could know which Region B Locked steelbooks can play on a U.S Region A PS3.
For those who do not know whats going on, some region-B locked discs have proven to play in a Region A PS3 if u play around with the remote buttons.

Currently, these are the ones that can play in a Region A PS3, according to some of the guys here who have tried.

Kill Bill Vol. 2 (TF1)
Babylon A.D (Studio Canal)
The Departed (TF1)
Scoop (TF1)

It would help if you guys know of anymore titles to add to this list!
Thanks!!!

Actually, not true. I bought it. LOL!

I'm going to make a hybrid out of it, though. French Steel with Danish BD inside.
