Region B release dates?? - Blu-ray Forum

Torrentuk · 04-19-2007, 01:27 PM

I'm quite miffed at the moment

Where can I go to find the Region B release dates? No one seems to have a consolidated list, not even here. Also, does anyone know of a site which shows the compatibility of Region A films with Region B players?

Many thanks.

At the moment your best bet for release dates is probably Play.com (coming soon) or any UK threads that turn up here.

That's the site for regional compat.

The Region B situation is comlpicated as it's composed of several countries with each sometimes getting different editions and shcedules. And I live in the US

so that's why I mention "any corrections are appreciated" in my apocalist and make a more generalized month listing. I do check the amazons and play.coms and zonadvds from time to time to try see if i get anything not announced on the US yet. It would be great to compile an exhaustive list from each of the major Region B markets (Australia, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, etc etc) or even all countries.

HMV seems to be the most reliable with dates.

Thanks all. It's just incredibly frustrating. I see a ton of films I want to purchase on Region A but find that I have to browse four or five different uk retailers to try and locate one with the release date. They don't all appear either and it's difficult to know how reliable those dates are.

This site is perfect in its set up and really all I want is something which caters for the region b releases too in a similar fashion.

I don't quite understand why the region being made up of multiple countries would have much of a bearing. Ultimately the release date remains the same the only thing that would differ would be whether or not that particular movie would permitted in certain countries (Germany being particularly stringent as I understand it). Or am I wrong on this?

@Best of both worlds - Thanks. I'll take a look at that site.

Yes. Release dates, and the actual disc pressings may be different, in different region B countries. For example the Bond disc are slighly different , and right now The Island according to the last time I checked has dfferent release months in the UK and Spain. And all this is in constant flux. Also there's the language barrier: For example, I can understand a couple of European languages, but not all! So it's slightly difficult to surf for titles, dates, features, and exclusive releases.
