PAL enabled on HK-machines under 1.6! - Blu-ray Forum

It seems like PAL has been added to work on HK-machines, through the 1.6 update.

[under the "Video" section]

Quote:

* DVDs that are recorded in the PAL video broadcast standard can now be played.
* Motion JPEG and AVCHD (.m2ts) have been added as playable formats.

It doesn't work on my U.S-machine.
But maybe someone with an HK-machine, and a region free PAL-disc could try it for us?

The good thing is - that it's then possible to add PAL compability through a firmware update!

I just confirmed this, through a friend who has a NTSC HK-machine.
He can now play PAL dvd:s, after the 1.6 update.

It does not work on Jap/U.S-machines so far.
