'Cabaret' and 'Straw Dogs' released today - region-free?

[demoni]

Oh, Straw Dogs in HD!!! That's gonna be nasty...

Let's hope it's region free.

Edit: Are you sure about the release date? I see that Amazon UK has a 4-5 delivery date (usually means it's not available), and Play has a January 31st release date:

Edit 2: Another site with a "awaiting stock" status... This site also states region B:

I think Amazon would know the release date of STRAW DOGS as well as Play so I have no clue what the release date will be, HMV states a release date of 2nd of March 2009.
I hope this will come in 4 or 5 days with amazon, but i'm affraid this title is pushed back to early 2009.

Arghhh that's annoying. I hadn't re-checked the release date recently.

I suspect they show Region B simply because it's a UK release. It probably doesn't mean anything in terms of whether it will be region-locked or not. We'll find out once it's actually released.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

If SONY doesn't make the PS3 region free with a new firmware update anytime soon I'm gonna have to buy me a region B player anyway... I must have BFI's release of Salo...
