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 |
This definitely needs testing out ..... could be great news.
Trouble is, if it worked, we may then get into a PSP situation where many people ignore firmware upgrades from 2.10 (1.5 in the case of the PSP).
I'd love to be able to make the PS3 region free for both Blu-Rays and especially DVD's as I currently have to also maintain a region free upscaling DVD player.
PS - I'd test it myself but I have no region locked Blu-Rays.
