I got a region A (American) copy of Shoot 'Em Up which is region locked(which i did'nt 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 film works OK and the film plays all the way through .

I dont know if this would work on other tittles ?.But it works on this one
If this is a crack then I'd keep quiet on it or else the next PS3 update might wipe it out.
