Safe to access US Disney BD-Live in UK?

[MattDean]

Can anyone help?

Does annyone know if it's safe to try to access the Disney BD-Live Network from the UK?

I live in the UK and have a dedicated imported US PS3 system. I have it connected to the Internet but have always disconnected it when playing the new Sleeping Beauty Blu as I'm watching the disc outside of the States.

I'm scared the disc and/or player might recognise its in the wrong teritory, if I attempt to open any BD-Live features, and effectively lock out the disc. Is this possible?

My technical understanding of the Live network is limited! I have no problems using the Live features on my US Transformers Blu but that is region free, Beauty is region locked and in the Live User Agreement it states you must not use this feature outside its intended territory!

Does anyone know what could happen if I do try to open the live features? Will my player lock out the disc or will it open the live features without problems or will it simply tell me the features cannot be accessed and then play the disc as normal?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

I can't tell you the exact answer but I can help.

I live in Thailand and I use US PS3 too, and the Sleeping Beauty BD-Live works perfectly fine for a week now. So I don't think the connection preblem has anything to do with teritory.

Hope that helps

You Must Do Your Updates Online And There Is No Problems So Why Would BD-LIVE Be Any Different. I Have A US PS3 Also And Never Had Any Worry's About BD-LIVE Iron Man Works Fine.

Thanks for info. I do update online with no problems too. My concern is that the disc istself is region locked, Iron Man isn't region locked (I believe) so as there are no restrictions viewing the disc outside the US (hence it being unlocked) it stands to reason there wouldn't be restrictions accessing live features either.

To be clear, I just wander if (locked) BD's are clever enough to detect where they are being played (based on Internet info received via the Live connection) and whether a player could possibly detect there is a conflict and refuse to play the disc.

Perhaps what I stated above is a complete nonsense, but as I've said, my technical know-how is limited to say the least!

Anyhow, thanks for trying to help but as the guy above has no problems acccessing the Live Network - I think I'll bite the bullet too!
