Jynxx 4 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 There are hacks for most models, sooner or later, no? All you need is one of those "all in one remote" Sony is annoying, full stop. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Depends on the software of your BD player. So if possible, don't update it just in case. Damn, want to call in sick today and just watch movies with some curry and beer. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Rob, does that mean that US blue rays will play here then? If so, thats pretty sweet - no need for a region free player. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 Do a search on リージョンフリー　there are plenty out there but difficult to find in shops. Well I think so anyway. You can get a fairly decent multi-region DVD for less than 10,000 yen. If you want specifics feel free to pm me. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 You know only the first alien and the stormtrooper alien is worth seeing right? The others are just bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 No I don't know that at all. I know the first two are ace, the third is interesting in it's own way and the fourth is.... only seen it once. There's masses and masses of extra stuff packed on these 6 BluRay discs and for just over 30 quid sounds like a deal to me. Link to post Share on other sites
its-a-clock 0 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 The documentaries are great - I have the DVD version that was released a few years back. Well worth ploughing through it all and I believe this has even more. Link to post Share on other sites
