Import Help - Blu-ray Forum

jasononyx · 10-25-2008, 09:51 AM

I am NEW to the order Blu from other countries.
I clicked on a title in the "Preorder" section and at Amazon it states that it is
NTSC, Widescreen, Import and that it is "All Regions" in the Product Info.

However in the Product Description it says Region B.
It is a bit contradicting.

Has anyone bought a Disc with the contradicting info, and been able to play it on a US player?

check the film u want here http://bluray.liesinc.net/

before u buy it, amazon is not very good checking region coding sometimes they say it is region locked when it is not.

Also wanna recommend these if u wanna get som bd's:

http://www.axelmusic.com/
www.hdmoviesource.com

both of these are much better then amazon.

yeah never trust amazon when it comes to what they say on their region encoding because its usually false

It would help to know what title, country being ordered from, and destination country. Otherwise, we have absolutely no idea how to answer your question.

Sorry about that, the title is "Alpha Dog"
The destination country would be the US, and I am assuming the country that it is will be ordered from is also the US as it is on a US Amazon page.

the Amazon Page:

Alpha Dog on AmazonUS seems to be an import, maybe from Region A or from Region B. I would asume that if they're selling it on Amazon US saying Format: NTSC, Widescreen, Import
Region: All Regions that pressing should be actually either region A or region free but of course the only way to know 100% sure is if there's confirmation.

The UK entry is designated Region B automatically because the United Kingdom is in Region B, so at least the disc is playable on region B. It might as well be region free. If it actualy is confirmed as Region free we can change the listing.

There's also a "region comments" area on the listings.

The UK Alpha Dog is region free.
