Probably not. The 3D disc has Russian etc dubs and subs so it has to be at least region A&C compatible.

That is some good thinking right there mate, excellent point.

I would love to have it definitely confirmed by someone though.

Me too...I ordered the US version after reading that it was region free! Won't be able to tell until Friday if it's locked.

...if it's region locked and you can't play it let me know as I might take it off your hands...

I await your post with baited breath.

Ok both discs are region free.

However I ordered the Canadian version which lists the Dragon racers mini film, commentary, and 1 hour making of on the back cover...however they are missing on the 2D disc! The disc has the exact specs as the US release down to the Audio / subtitles etc but the features are just not there.

Can the disc check what region my player is and omit them from the menu??? This is bizarre!

Another member who imported the Peabody Sherman US release has stated that a short film is missing from that also. It should be there but isn't...

It seems Fox has put something on the disc to be able to identify which region your player is and can then omit features from the menu if the player is identified as region B.

Wow...that's such a shitty thing to pull! And I spent a lot of money to import the North American release just for these features!
