sorry mate hate to tell you but indeed there is region coding on Blu-rays although to be fair not ALL are. It depends mostly on the studio involved more than anything. Sony tend to lock they're new releases along with Fox and Disney whilst Warner titles and old catalogue titles from most studios are region free. A good example of how silly things can get like that is with the Spiderman Trilogy boxset. Spiderman 1 and 2 are region free whilst Spiderman 3 is region coded.. There are a few sites out there that list films plus you get a few online sellers like Movietyme.com that have a blog setup to test new releases as they get them.

Double post.. but hey..

A link to one of those sites is http://bluray.liesinc.net/

Also there's a whole thread on this forum where your welcome to ask whether a film is region coded or not. People are pretty good round here at helping..

LOL.. thats ok mate.. The main regions to look at for us guys are Region A-The US releases and Region B-European releases. If a film says it's Region A, B and C then basically it's an All region disk that equates to the old region free disks on DVD.. Your looking at the right bit.. it'll usually just say region A or Region B and thats it..
