[Slowhand] Slowhand Digest, Vol 15, Issue 154 - Crossroads 2010 Blu-ray Region Free?

[Kevin Wilson]

Hi Mark

I'm happy to say the release appeared on the shelves in South Africa today.
I bought it in double quick time. Next step will be to get the Best Buy 3
disc version.

The 2 disc version I bought today makes no mention of regional settings.

I'll have to find a place locally to take my Blu-Ray player in to have it
tweaked to read other regional settings, cause all my DVD's from "other
regions" are unreadable.

Anyway, thanks for responding.

Kevin

Blu-ray Region Free?


Hi Kevin,

Most listings on eBay indicate this blu-ray is infact 'region free' rather
than region A (US) or B (UK, Australia).
I purchased the 'Best Buy' Limited addition (extra disc) on eBay recently,
but it is yet to arrvie, so I cannot confirm this is the case.

the followeing website confirms this blu-ray is in fact region free:
http://regionfreemovies.com/bluray/Eric_Clapton_|_Crossroads_Guitar_Festival
_2010/US

Can anyone else who already actually owns this, confirm the Blu-Ray is
"Region Free"?

- Mark.

Anyone out there able to advise where I can get this with dispatch today.
Amazon.co.uk has informed me that there's a delay in dispatching until 20
December with delivery somewhere in mid-Jan, which is ridiculous.
 
 
 
When  bought my Blu-Ray player, I did it on impulse, not realising that
there things come out with Regional coding - mine is Region B - Africa,
Middle East, Southwest Asia, Europe, Australia, New Zealand. Perhaps a
German Digester can advise if it's ready to dispatch from Amazon.de - I once
blind-ordered a disc (the buttons are generally in the same place) from
there and got it within a week, which is excellent, considering the disc lay
most of the week at my local post office.
