Face/Off from the UK instead! - Blu-ray Forum

XanderAE · 08-21-2007, 09:50 PM

I've cancelled my pre order for Paramount's Face/Off and ordered the Buena Vista release in the UK...

More convenient I guess seeing as i live in the UK HaHa!!

I just hope that those new special features will be on it, that were on the Paramount version, and the transfer is good enough! I'l settle for the great transfer though!

That will probably be a better PQ/AQ release anyway. BVHE rocks.

I need some help guys...

http://amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_w_h_...s=face+off+blu

1. as you can see amazon.co.uk has TWO blurays for face off listed which is the first confusing thing, i needed help understanding.

2. The first one says its a buena vista title and appears to be region free..so would that work in US Bluray players?

thanks for your help.

Hiya mate

you want the one that has no picture, the one priced £20.24.

the other one is the paramount copy that has now been cancelled.

You should know though that you can get it cheaper at play.com and sendit.com!

£17.99 and £17.89 respectively. Ive ordered from sendit.com!!

no a region B Blu-ray disc will NOT play in the US playstation 3. In otherwords you have to get the first title listed from amazon.co.uk in order for it to play here in the US.

so its the same setup as dvd as far as regions go

Most region B titles (excluding Fox) are region free. Well actually region ABC. Sony's argument for region encoding is it's possible for a disc to be released in the US before it's in the cinema in other countries, Australia is frequently 6-9 months behind. As we are last there is therefore no need to region encode.

so the region 2 version of face off will play in my sony ps3? its the us version. I am not sure about regions coding on Blu-rays yet. I understand how it works on dvds
