Hello all--- It's been discussed on the net for quite a while now, but today, gerogeharrison.com officially announced the new documentary, GEORGE HARRISON: LIVING IN THE MATERIAL WORLD, which was directed by Martin Scorsese. But the curious part is that it will air on HBO here in the US and will apparently go straight to video in the UK a few days after the US airing. There’s no mention of the US DVD or Blu Ray release.
New York — HBO has acquired the North American broadcast rights to Martin Scorsese's GEORGE HARRISON: LIVING IN THE MATERIAL WORLD, which will debut in two parts — on October 5 and October 6, 2011 — exclusively on HBO. London — Lionsgate Home Entertainment UK announced that it will be releasing the film in the UK on 10th October 2011 in three editions – DVD, Blu-ray and DVD Double play (DVD/ BD combi pack), and a beautifully packaged DVD / Blu-Ray Deluxe Edition, which includes an exclusive CD of previously unheard tracks from George Harrison, and a book of photography to accompany the film.
You can read more about it in the full news release here: http://www.georgeharrison.com/#/news/archive/201107/george-harrison-documentary-and-book-announced So, my question is this: if I buy the UK Blu-Ray [gotta have that bonus CD!] as an import, will it play on my US Sony BR player? I know that region codes were an issue with DVD players, but I have no idea if region codes are also used in BR production and, if so, how they impact playing a disc from a different country here in the US. Thanks for any feedback you can offer about the region code issue. I’m really looking forward to seeing this film. Regards, mattl
