Re: Will US pirates work on PAL PS3

It says Region A,B,C on the cover so it will work.

Not necessarily so. King Arthur - also a Buena Vista Release - had regions A,B,C listed on the back and that didn't work.

No one received this yet & tested it? Can't find anything vis the US POTC discs compatability, and with the UK discs delayed I'm on the verge of putting in an order (with a site that usually has this sort of info up fairly quickly!)

Re: Will US pirates work on PAL PS3

I can confirm that both Pirates 1 & 2 DO work on a UK PS3.

Re: Will US pirates work on PAL PS3

Cool. Looks like it time to cancel my Play orders (especially as they seem to have been delayed) and order at Movietyme instead

Re: Will US pirates work on PAL PS3

Yeah, i've ordered too. Makes me hopeful that Cars will be all regions too. I really don't want that idiot Jeremy Clarkson on my Blu-Ray Cars....would much prefer that idiot Jeremy Piven ;-)

With Movietyme do you think I could expect to get Pirates for this weekend if I just ordered now?

Re: Will US pirates work on PAL PS3

Just cancelled my orders for the UK discs and ordered from Movietyme. Hopefully, I'll have 'em by the weekend - as I plan on watching them and the Matrix Ultimate collection back to back.

Re: Will US pirates work on PAL PS3

Picture quality is breathtaking!

Also first discs we have seen that have a "loading" screen icon come up when first loading the discs.

Re: Will US pirates work on PAL PS3

Hi, have got in from work and my discs have arrived only 2 days after ordering and they are stunning best movies on Blu Ray seen so far.

Great delivery service from Movietyme

Re: Will US pirates work on PAL PS3

Looks as though Movietyme are charging the same prices as Play.com for these 2 films.

Its just a shame that they dont sell them as a 2-film package deal, rather than having to pay 2 lots of £17.99.

Anyone manage to get it cheaper than £35.98 for the 2 films?

Re: Will US pirates work on PAL PS3

God knows how this happened but I ordered Pirates 1 and 2 on BD from Movietyme on Monday afternoon... delivered *Wednesday*. Impeccable. Usually takes a week or a little longer when I order usually.

Re: Will US pirates work on PAL PS3

I have given up waiting and decided to order these from MovieTyme as well, as I cannot manage to find them cheaper anywhere else, especially with how reliable they are getting the more that time moves on.

I think they know how popular the Blu-Ray films are getting with us PS3 owners, as they have a special Sub-Section on the site for "Blu-Ray films that work with UK PS3".

Cant really get any easier than this
