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

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....
