how to region free the blu ray on PS3There is currently no known method for unlocking region PS3 consoles to play Blu-Ray movies from regions other than ones that match the player's region. About 500 region free movie titles currently exist from different studios. Not all studios release region free Blu-Rays. Some exclusively do (to date), some have released some locked, some unlocked, and other studios have released only locked titles. You can see a list of locked, region-free, and studios.

Not sure if this is a fluke or what, but I bought Mr Magoriums Wonder emporium on Blu Ray... turns out it's a region A... I have managed to get this to play in my PS3 by sheer persistence... it still brings up the "this disk will not play as it is not suited to the region... blah blah blah... etc etc etc"

By pushing R1 and the X button over and over again it skips past the "WARNING" screen straight to the Menu of Mr Magoriums wonder emporium... I'm watching it right now with my niece.

I've done this twice now... the first time I thought I was being a smarty pants by changing the region country... turns out that didn't make a difference either way... It's set to Australia at the moment, last time I got it to play it was set for Thailand (which is a region A country).

There is another way to play region free blu ray on PS3 with homebrew installer software - Just head over here to learn how to unlock the blu ray region code and make your PS3 blu ray muti zone -

There is a way to access Blu-ray and DVD's regardless of region encoding, through another DLNA enabled region free player. In my case I own a Sony BDP-1000ES that is region free (and yes I bought it modded for region free) as this is also a DLNA device my PS3 reads any disc I place into the BDP-1000ES.

You can buy a disc which you play on your playstation it allows you to choose the region you want to use and then you can play a DVD from that region but you cannot make it entirely region free, or if you want to be able to play different games from other countries you can either buy a simple box which will allow this or the more expensive method is to get ur PS2 chipped.

CHIPPING IS ILLEGAL!!!

Can you UK DVDs on American DVDS?

The question doesn't really make sense. I think you are missing some words. But DVDs have region codes and only some DVD players will play certain types. So check that first. I don't think so. The commercial DVD player specification requires that a player to be sold in a given place not play discs encoded for a different region (region 0 discs are not restricted). The purpose of this is to allow motion picture studios to control aspects of a release, including content, release date, and, especially, price, according to the region. Fortunately, So far Most freeware and open source DVD players, such as VLC, ignore region coding. Most commercial players are locked to a region code, but can be easily changed with software. You could find a guide about removing region code from DVD via related links below:


What movie box do you think is more recommended or better the Blu-ray box or the DVD box when you purchase a film?

When you buy a movie I would suggest you purchase a film that has a cover preferably a shiny cover because it will protect the plastic of the box. The blu ray box gives it a better view because it's smaller and it is blue, and plus it doesn't break as easy as the black and bigger dvd box. I made this error myself where I bought a movie that was in a bluray and dvd combo pack and purchased it with the dvd box just because the cover and the artwork was bigger, but I never realized at the much better quality the bluray box has. I regret buying six of my favorite movies in a dvd box rather than a bluray box. So when you go to Target or Walmart in my opinion I would go for purchasing the bluray box, and make sure that the cover is not damaged because many customers don't treat the limited time films like if it was fragile.

North American blu-ray player play region 2 bluray discs?

North America is classed as region 1 for DVD, Bluray and games coding. The codes are there specifically to prevent discs from one region being used in another. Region 2 covers Europe. There have been a handful of DVD players that did not check the region code and would play discs from any region. Bluray players appear to be far more tightly controlled and it is very unlikely that any commercially available player will allow the coding to be bypassed. It is possible that players can be modified to remove the coding restrictions but these are unofficial modifications, void warranties and cannot be guaranteed to work continuously. As frustrating as the region coding is, the easiest and lowest cost route to take is to buy discs intended for use on your own player. Note that as the region coding is a commercial protection, non commercial DVD and Bluray discs do not have the code and can be handled by any player. That is subject to the player and the television handling European 50Hz content. The US normally uses 60Hz video so there is still no guarantee that your specific setup will work. It's a case of studying the manuals to make sure.


How do you reset the region code on a DVD player?

DVDs have 6 region codes for different regions in the world which are used as a commercial protection. You may only watch the dvds in your specifically region easily.

How do I Make a maxim DVD player region free?

The region codes are stored in the internal microprocessor. You'd have to find a way to re-code the operating system. It depends on the Blu-ray player. Some Blu-ray Players are quite easy to do by entering a series of numbers from the remote control. Others need to have the chip modified inside the player itself - and others are almost impossible to do. Search the internet for the model you have and you should find an answer for that particular one. Or, if you haven't bought it yet, find out which is an easy one to do and buy that one.
