I heard that European Blueray players.. play most region A discs.
Have so me of you guys tried other way around? Region B in US blue-ray players?

Is it not possible to make the US BR players regionfree?

Thanks

Fox and Disney and recent Sony discs from Region A have not been playable in Region B players.

I have yet to hear of a Region B disc that does not play in Region A players. That said there are not all that many Region B titles out there.

Thats strange,why? and not the otherway around.
So US players take region B movies and A while European BD-players only play region B.

So if i have a Us BD-player i can play both regions without problem??

Thanks

It is not clear.

While discs are labelled region B, they may not actually be region coded.

Until we see Fox discs for example, it will not be clear.

I do remember a rumour at one time that Region A could play ABC, Region B could play B & C, and Region C only Region C. But that was never formally announced that I could find.

Cool! It looks like its going to be region 3 for blu ray! Does anyone know any decent suppliers for region 3 blu ray's?????

What are you talking about? There's no Region 3. There's A, B and C. And your PS3's an A.

Sorry! I meant C! so even though its a hong kong model it will still be region A?

[Deciazulado]

fuad, I think he concluded Honk Kong was region "3" (C) because China is region C. So where would Hong Kong fall? With China or with Region's A Asia? From the map it seems is with China Region C...

mark.ison maybe you could try some region coded DVDs, try region 1 and 2 and 3 and see what happens?

Dvds are still the same region as they used to be. Plus it wont olay dvds that are PAL not NTSC which is kind of annoying!
