Hello
Thought i'd register, to tell you lot about this
I got a region A (American) copy of Shoot 'Em Up which is region locked(which i didn't know about at the time).
After i put it into my UK PS3 and clicked onto the filmes icon (BDMV), the machine thought about it and a message came up in big letters saying REGION INCOMBATIBILITY
.Then it goes back to the PS3 menues
Tried it a few times and it done the same over and over again.
So on the last try when the "region incombatibility" message came up i pressed the triangle on the controller, which brings up the pop-up menu and clicked on "TOP MENU" then BINGO the films menu came on
.
Everything on the disc works OK and the film plays all the way through
.
I dont know if this would work on other titles ?.But it works on this one
EDIT
Other reported region A(region locked) titles that also work are(
Which are all from New Line)...............
(these also worked on a UK Sharp blu ray player)
Hairspray Mr woodcock Rush Hour 3 (hmmm it's been reported that this one might not play on the UK PS3 ?.) The Golden Compass The Orphanage Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay
Here's some pics
