Are these Australian BDs region free? - Blu-ray Forum

Does anyone know if these Australian BDs are regionfree? In other words, will they play on a U.S. BD player?

- Bruce Almighty
- Crimson Tide
- The Rock

I'm assuming these are the exact same discs as those just released in the U.K. and Germany just with different artwork.

Would appreciate knowing for certain before I order them. They all street next week.

Thanks guys!

It will be interesting to see if Bruce Almighty looks better than the HD DVD...

The markings on both Crimson Tide and The Rock are ABC, so region free, be warned I have a US disc (King Arthur) that is region ABC but both the PC drive and PS3 claim it's not region B.
Crimson Tide is stunning in PQ (I haven't watched the Rock yet) After watching it I had a look at the bit rate with some random samples. It seems to be between 20 & 30 Mb/s for the samples I looked at. Pirates and Bond look out you have just got competition.
