RAMBO: UK disc is NOT Region Free

I found this out to my annoyance today.

Even though it states all regions on the back of the disc, it is encoded for region 2 only.

Not a huge deal, as I have both a UK and a US PS3, but annoying enough for me to return it to Blockbuster Video.

Will order the US version instead which is confirmed to be region free.

Just a warning for those Region A player owners who have eyed the UK release.

Is this "Rambo" (2008) you are talking about?
Or "Rambo: First Blood 2"?

Thanks.

Now since the "Ultimate Rambo Collection" has also been released in the UK, is there any info yet on what Region the other films in the package are?

Sorry can't help you there as I've had no exposure to the disc set itself. You might want to try asking here...

John Rambo US release, region info??
