Chronicles of Riddick (Trying to figure something out)

[FadetoBlu]

O.K. Chronicles is available as import from Amazon UK site BUTthey are region 2 and use the PAL video system but as I scrolled down the page there were 2 customer comments and the first one the person was from Tokyo,Japan and from what I gathered they use NTSC video format and here is some info he listed about the BD now pay attention to where it says version and also in that line where it says region it says A, B, C. So would this play in my player as I live in the U.S.?

[MCT]

yes, the movie will play fine in your player. As will Pitch Black and JCVD.

There is no PAL in the Blu-ray world. Except for maybe some standard-def extras.

"Region A, B, C"

That's all you need to pay attention to. Lgans posts here and over at AVS a lot so you can take his info to the bank.
