Question about "region-free" BD's... - Blu-ray Forum

NYorker · 02-22-2010, 01:49 PM

I have a PAL PS3 and wanted to order some blu-rays through Amazon US. I double-checked that the movies I want are region free, but in Amazon I see it's written "region 1 - for US and Canada players only." Should I ignore this?

Yes, ignore Amazon's listings. Just make sure the title in question is region free, and you're fine.

It's just a standard page description. There isn't even a region 1 in Blu-ray, Amazon just hasn't bothered updating for the Blu-ray region coding.
