So after thousands of minutes of discussions, news readings, thoughts battling with my brother and etc, we, as a family (paid by my dad :P), bought a PS3 Slim..... in Hong Kong.

Now as far as I'm concerned HK and Americas share the same Blu Ray Region Codes (Region A). But the thing is we live in Australia and it's Region B so I guess you all know what it means. And I read somewhere on the net a site saying that the package of the blu ray movie itself does not contain information whether it is region free or not.

I found this site to be somewhat useful: http://www.dtvforum.info/index.php?showtopic=50447. But of course I do need more advice so I don't get the wrong copy.

Oh just a side note: My dad was amazed by how the PS3 can go and browse online: "Oh s**t this thing can go online!?! Can you go onto Youtube!?" However he's born in the 50's so I would say he's quite updated to technology gadgets (for a unwealthy Chinese man lol). And we only have one game so far.... Winning Eleven (PES 2010) hahaha.....

Luckily, as far as I know, most BD discs have been released as "All Regions".

choose a movie and then click on the underflick region coding

^ Cool! Thanks for that!

You've got to love Disney. I went to the site Zargeras linked to. I clicked on about 10 movies and they have no region coding and then I thought, "try a Disney movie" and surprise, NOT, it's region coded. Disney are so anal when it comes to controlling their IP. Can't stand them. :)

Awesome stuff!
Guess I'll be getting the Pirates of the Carribean Triology and Lost (Has it ended?)
