That's strange. Terminator has region A on the cover.

Cees Alons · Nov 6, 2006

Yes, it has indeed. And even stranger: Terminator 2 has region 1 on the cover (not A): the "old" icon. Perhaps they were still a little bit confused in the beginning.

Thanks for the information, Marek. The Internet is a wonderful medium to publish information such as this to assist consumers in their purchase decision-making. It just shows how incredibly stupid and useless such regional restrictions are in the first place.

Sam Davatchi · Nov 6, 2006

So you mean that it's a mistake on the cover? I was unable to play my Terminator BD with my PowerDVD before applying the patch that adds region coding to PowerDVD.

Cees Alons · Nov 6, 2006

I honestly don't know, Sam. But "region 1" is an error for sure. Of course, it could really still be a region-A-only disc.

I bought Crank on BD and like T2, it says region 1 on the cover!

MarekM · Jan 17, 2007

did you test Crank on european BD player ? T2 (1) is nonfirmed that it works on B region players..

Marek

Sam Davatchi · Jan 18, 2007

No unfortunately I don't have a region B BD player. I'm waiting for a multi-region BD player. For the moment I only buy imported region A BDs.

MarekM · Jan 18, 2007

any info about such player ? that could be nice to have

Marek

Sam Davatchi · Jan 18, 2007

No, actually I'm worried. We may never see a multi-region BD player because I remember reading a while back (probably from the infamous Amir) that it's illegal to make multi-region BD players contrary to DVD players. It's in the specification or something like that and so the manufacturers cannot add that functionality even hidden in their menus. This is not the case with DVDs.

MarekM · Jan 18, 2007

hmm, so that's why is good if people will share wich title is playable in all regions

Marek

Movie Madness · Jan 19, 2007

So who has the list of regions for which Movies?.

Movie Madness · Jan 19, 2007

MarekM · Jan 19, 2007

Chris Dugger · Jan 20, 2007

Why would these be restricted and not open region like HD-DVD?

And are their blu-ray titles available in other regions that are not available here in the usa?

Dugger

MarekM · Jan 20, 2007

for blu-ray you have region A (usa and japan), B (europe) and C (i think russia and rest...)
yes hd dvd is region free so far,...... but it could also change.......
