If you have a standalone player, and change your Firmware... then yes.

otherwise.... No...

Seems strange it being locked. Isn't it Lionsgate on both sides of the pond? They didn't seem fussy at all about WAR and 3:10 To Yuma.

Lionsgate has been inconsistent in their use of region coding. My guess is whether the movie still has to open in certain foreign theatrical markets they use region coding.

Saw 4 is coming out march the 3rd if not mistaken in the UK so its not to far off.

Yeah, get the UK disc and support local sales. It'll be a direct port anyway.

Saw IV is still playing in cinemas in Europe, that's why region coding is applied. Some movies probably get the benefit of the doubt because they are expected to generate less sales I guess
