[Simian Sibling]

Hi,

Ok I got fed up of looking at 3 separate lists to figure out what was region free from the US. So I put together this list and I have asked both lfletcher and movietymec if I could use their info and have both agreed so all the thanks should go to those two. I also used some from http://bluray.lindsite.dk/ so thanks should go there also!

I will try to keep it up to date as possible and if a mod does think it’s just repeating what is already here please feel free to either close or delete as it wouldn't be the end of the world for me

Please use at your own risk

Hi, On the list is uk con air as region free, but I have had a email from movietyme saying they dont know if it will work in my US sammy 1200 player because some US players dont like pal discs, I thought there was no such thing as pal/ntsc on blu-ray?. can anyone clear this up for me.cheers Mike

[SAH]

PAL/NTSC isn't an issue with Blu-ray titles as far as I'm aware, they're all the same apart from region coding.

So it will work.

[mickey]

thanks that what I thought. Mike

A Bug's Life

I don't see the advantage of having region free 'Region B' discs if you live in the UK or Ireland...unless you live overseas

Or own a region A player (I have 2 - a PS3 & Oppo BD83)

I also have a region B 1500 so better to buy region free disks than region locked

It's great but still has a couple of issues, about £520 and yes it can be
