AVP UK Blu-Ray on US PS3...does it work?
Alien v Predator...I know it says 'region B' on the box but wondered if it was region free as they have a pre-owned copy for a decent price in my local Gamestation.

Not 100%, but I believe that the only Fox UK titles that are encoded region A and B are Entrapment and Men Of Honor (both of these state this on the back of the box). All of the others are region B only and won't work.

Two questions about this...
1. Was it a region 'B' Blu-Ray, there is no region '2' for Blu-Ray?
2. Is your PS3 a US one?

Just ordered this on Reg A from Movietyme for £11.99 - thats a great price, is the Reg B one cheaper?

No...but there is a 'pre-owned' copy in my local Gamestation for £12 as I clearly stated in my original post.

I am careful to only buy UK blu-ray discs myself for this reason - if your player is USA then I'm sorry I can't answer your question.

Whilst I appreciate your help, you can save yourself some hassle if you read posts thoroughly.
My OP was about UK, REGION 'B' AVP playing on a US PS3. The info you've given me hasn't helped me at all.
I dont mean this to be horrible, just that you dont need to reply if it isn't any help

Well I risked buying AvP in Canada recently and it refused to play on my UK PS3 when I got home  |

When it comes to Fox, stick to buying releases from the same region as your player.
