Question Will a Pal HD-DVD play in a US HD-A3 ??

Hi,

I was wondering if the HD-A3 can play pal HD-DVD Disc's, and if not
is there any hack or firmware that will allow it do so.

If not are their any HD Players that will play both right out of the
box.

Thanks for the help. Pal has titles that US does not.

All HD-DVD discs are Region Free.

As far as i know (could be wrong though) the pal/ntsc thing doesn't matter on an hd player. I have both UK and american sourced HD DVD on an ep30 and all play fine.
Cheers

In the HD-DVD world there is no such thing as PAL or NTSC, its all 1080p/24hz (or at least the majority is).

Also one of the major selling points for HD-DVD was that it was region free.
