Rocky Balboa Blu Ray Region Free?
Can anyone tell me if Rocky Balboa is going to be region free on Blu Ray when its released. Ive checked on http://bluray.lindsite.dk/ and all other Sony Blu Rays are region free and im just looking to confirm if Rocky will be as well.

Many Thanks

Re: Rocky Balbo Blu Ray Region Free?
I doubt it very much, Casino Royale wasnt region free so I doubt this will be.

Had confirmation mine was shipped from DVD Pacific last night (a week before release!) but I only have a US player so wont be able to confirm if its region free when I get it.

Re: Rocky Balbo Blu Ray Region Free?
Not conclusive but the back cover of the us version only has it listed as Region A the same as the us version of Casino Royale is.

Mine arrived from Movietyme this morning, it does say Region A on the rear artwork - which does not bode well, but I only have a Region A PS3 so I cannot say for sure whether it is region locked.

I have got Monster House on blu ray and it has Region B on the rear artwork, however it works perfectly on my US PS3 - so... your guess is as good as mine!

Re: Rocky Balbo Blu Ray Region Free?
Has anyone determined whether Rocky Balboa from Movietyme will play on Region B BD players?

A free 10p mix up if you tell me the answer is truthfully yes....

Re: Rocky Balbo Blu Ray Region Free?
I can't answer the million $ question, but, I have just read on Movietyme's blog that they have ordered a UK spec PS3 so they can test their discs to work out what will work and what won't. I guess they will then publish and advertise the ones that do as UK compatible versions... useful, but doesn't answer your question I'm afraid.

Re: Rocky Balbo Blu Ray Region Free?
Just watched this what a movie what a disc. Im a huge rocky fan something about them just really sits with me and these are the movies i remeber from my childhood more than any other. I feel this brought to an end the rocky movies in the best possible way well done sly.

According to Movietymes new blog - no, Rocky Balboa doesn't work on a UK PS3. Looks like they have bought one for testing blu-ray playback.

Shame, as I was gonna buy it myself - as it's so much cheaper than the upcoming UK Region B version.

You may find this thread useful (lots of US discs tested for UK compatibility)

Blu-Ray: What Films Are Region Coded

As confirmed above, Rocky Balboa is region coded and does not work on the UK PS3.
