| 1257937 | 2012-02-07 23:22:00 | Hi, Ok, so I know about blu ray zoning, we're region B. I recently brought some blu rays from trademe and when they arrived, 2 of them are quite clearly marked zone A. I thought I'd try them in my NZ zone B blu ray player, and to my surprise both of them played all the way through. Has anyone else experienced this or know how this is possible? Cheers |

Pirated DVD & BR probhably will be Zone free. |

| 1257940 | 2012-02-08 00:13:00 | hmmn Looks like youre right. From wiki "Movie studios have different region coding policies. Among major U.S. studios, Paramount Pictures and Universal Studios have released all of their titles region-free. Sony Pictures and Warner Bros. have released most of their titles region-free. Lionsgate and Walt Disney Pictures have released a mix of region-free and region-coded titles. 20th Century Fox and MGM have released most of their titles region-coded." |

| 1257942 | 2012-02-08 03:48:00 | That was the advantage of HD-DVD. It was region free as a part of the spec.. | paulw (1826) | ||
