keirarts | 30th July 2012 02:29 PM | My BDX 1200 blu-ray player turned up about half an hour ago. A quick firmware upgrade followed by a remote hack and its now region free. Checked the WHISPERER IN THE DARKNESS, which though region free has the latest firmware requirements and it plays fine so the machine should last me. Best thing is EVIL DEAD 2, the supurb quality region locked disc is going for less than £6 (before postage) so I bought that as well as the DIVIDE (a film I would have loved to have bought from the uk, but sadly no blu-ray is yet available).
The players sitting under my ps3 set permenantly at REGION A and REGION 0 for dvd's so its going to be primarily playing my dvd's and imported discs, while the uk stuff will run via the ps3.
I'm now a very happy fella! (though somewhat poorer) |
