Region Free Blu-Ray Players? - Blu-ray Forum

pattyinga · 03-26-2007, 09:57 PM

Does anyone know if PS3 will aventually be able to play discs from all regions?

I am from Australia and our blu-ray selection is fairly poor, I have purchased most of my blu-ray movies from amazon, selecting the movies that are region free. I didnt want to go out and buy another player that is region (A), I am hoping manufacturers will start releasing region free players soon.

Under current licensing arrangements player manufacturers must implement RPC and not incorporate built-in backdoors or workarounds.

PS3 games are NOT region encoded, but PS2 games still are.
