Hi All, I'm new here. I'm in need of some advice.
I live in the UK. I have ordered a recently released bluray from Amazon.com and it is Region A.
I am having trouble deciding how to go about this.
I have both a PS3 and a PS4 PAL (Could I do something with these to allow them to play Region A?)
I have seen that a selection of cheap Toshiba BDX Blu ray players can be hacked to support multiregion quite easily, but I have also heard there is a risk of a newer bluray requiring a firmware update to play.
Or, Should I just order a new bluray player from the US and use a voltage converter? I have imported games before from the US and they display fine on my TV. So I dont think there'd be a problem apart from having to purchase a voltage transformer.
What would be the best option? I want to do this naturally as cheap as possible.
I can't seem to find anywhere selling any Toshiba BDX1100/2100/3100 in the UK for under £100
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

You could rip it and burn on a BDR. It will remove the region coding.
But you need a blu-ray writer....and you might have to shrink the bd to 25GB...and bdr might not work on all bluray players....and then there is cinavia protection... -
I would do nothing until you receive the BR disk. Amazon is very inacuate in it's discription's. Most disk are region free so it may play just fine.

I did consider that. But I have seen other forums in which the bluray is tested and definately region A locked.

Look the disk up on blueray.com they often have tests that will answer your question. I buy European BR's that are described as Region B locked but are actually region free. Why buy when you may not have a problem?

If you have a BR burner that seems your cheaper option. Rip the disk and burn to BD25 or BD50.

Looks like that is my only option.. shame I can't use the actual copies. Damn region locks.

hi,
take a look at this website,they are a bit more pricey than a stock player but I bought a bdt 500 from them a year or two ago and it works great
