Blade Runner U.S - 5 Disc Edition play on UK players?

[Trigger89]

This topic may have been discussed before, (sorry if it has) but I'm curious if the U.S 5 Disc Edition of Blade Runner works on UK players. I've read some forums that it plays on a PS3 okay, however I don't have one of those. My Blu-Ray player is the Sony BDP-360. If it does play on UK players then I think the U.S edition would be the better buy because it has all five versions of the movie.

It's Warner's so most of their stuff should play. The problem will be if the DVD's are region locked or not (I think 2 discs are DVD's the other BD's (I'll double-check that for you). I think I read somewhere that they're region free but can't confirm it. I was after the Watchmen UC DVD set for the same reason.

I haven't missed a great deal on the Blade Runner set have I?

According to this site it's region free, so it'll play on any uk player.

The DVDs in my set, are region free as well.

I have it, its definitely region free

I own this too, the Blu-rays are region-free and the DVDs are open to regions 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Just out of curiousity what is the PQ & SQ like on each of the 3 versions on Disc 3 and the Workprint version on Disc 5.

Thanks again

Glad the other guys confirmed the region free status of the DVD's.

If they're similar to the DVD's the picture is superb quality on The Final Cut, slightly less (if unnoticeable on the disc with three cuts on it), the Workprint comes off the worse due to the source material (I think Sir Ridley says as much in the introduction).

My only gripe with the BD's are Dangerous Days wasn't in HD. And we still haven't seen a release in the UK!
