UK DVDs/Blu-Rays region free?

movies are cool. here is a place to talk about how cool they are. or maybe how much they suck, sometimes. like that fucking piece of shit 'mac and me'. worst fucking movie ever, a two-hour ad for fucking coca-cola.

UK DVDs/Blu-Rays region free?

Post by Diabolical »

I see some reports that they are usually region free.
Anyone know for sure?

Amazon has been out of their exclusive Agent Carter season 1 Blu-Rays for quite a while, and it doesnt look like they plan on restocking it, but AmazonUK has them in stock cheaper than the US Amazon. Shipping is reasonable, but I don't want to buy something I can't use.

We got BBC discs for Miranda for Christmas & they're still region coded - I somehow got them to play once through a program on the laptop but it was choppy as hell. We're thinking of buying a UK dvd player for about $40.

I don't understand why Disney made that an Amazon exclusive. And, worse, a stealth Amazon exclusive that went for more than twice what it should've been.
