Russ1553552678 Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 Is it possible to play a Region 1 Blu Ray movie from the US on a PS3 purchased in New Zealand? Are PS3's region-free for Blu Ray? Or is there any way to make them if they aren't? Please post if you own a PS3 and have successfully played back a Blu Ray disc that had a different region to NZ's Region 3.
gfkBill Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 My understanding is that for blue-ray moves, yes the PS3 is region-locked. We are not in the same region as the US, sorry. For games I understand there is no region coding (though PS2 and PS1 apparently is). Blue Ray regions : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc#Region_codes My friend in Singapore mentioned yesterday that they can be modded, but I haven't looked into it, not having a PS3 myself.
JP. Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 Movies = Region Locked PS3 Games = Region Free Sorry, A lot more movies are coming multizone BD now
Russ1553552678 Posted April 22, 2007 Author Posted April 22, 2007 That's unfortunate then :-( Guess I'll have to wait months for stuff to come out in NZ.
Ariki Padlie Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 Go get an HD DVD Drive :-) No problems with regions there. Im sure i read somewhere that back catalogue Blu-ray releases were to have no zone restriction on them ie region 0????

Russ If you after movies then we share the same zone B as the UK. So amazon.co.uk has some good deals and will work on NZ PS3's. Also this will be helpful.. http://bluray.lindsite.dk/
