Yeah, the Region C area is lacking on it. They have Russian Blu-Rays listed on it. Region C is going to be the redheaded step child of Blu-Ray just like how Region 5 is for DVDs.

Yes, http://bluray.liesinc.net is a good site. I think it is reliable as well.

It is nice if Indian disks are added to it. All Indian blu-rays (released so far) are all-region apart from Jodhaa Albar which is Reg B locked.

[Bollywood Blu-ray]

we will submit to them all available titles

dean,

No offense but you shouldn' have bought PS3 from India knowing that it's Region C. Please try purchasing DMP-BD60 (Region A) from grey market for 22,000 INR. The player is slow but is way better than the PS3 in terms of PQ/SQ and power consumption. Alternatively, try importing from this site www.20north.com.

There are sites that sell modded Blu-ray players and ship overseas but at hefty price.

The best thing to do is to request your family or friends abroad to purchase the player and bring it to India.

nah none taken, I had no clue this stuff existed fr blu rays when i purchased the ps3. Now i wish i was more read about it. Only options remains to purchase a dedicated player, thou buying it frm abroad seems a good suggestion. Would there be a major difference in price? But as far as quality goes... is it much better/worse/or the same as the ps?

Though I am in India now, I lived in Japan since 2003 and was in UK, the past 3 months. The pricing is about India is twice the overseas pricing. Sony BDP-S350 that is sold in India is Region Free for both Blu-rays and DVDs though it's priced at 24,000 INR. Sony has finally realized they can't sell Region Locked players in a country like India.

Try importing from these sites, if you have sufficient budget:
