Hi,

Just a quick reference to you, Blu-ray/DVD flipper discs finally coming | Crave - CNET

The Bourne Identity Blu-ray (2002)

Srinisundar, aka, Mr. Blu-ray owns the max number of BR titles here! There is only a lean chance that he could be wrong about blu-rays.

Cheers!

im sure i put the right side. it not a dual sided it is a two disc version(one featuring film and other with special features). the blu-ray player(sony BDP-S360)is connected to my philips LED TV thru' DENON 2310 AV Receiver thru' HDMI.

Did you buy the Angels & Demons Blu-ray from India? Also is the player Region C?

I had the same problem with the Sony Playstation 3 and the Star Trek DVD which is supposed to be Region 2 and 5. For some reason My PS3 (Region 5/C) wouldn't play the disc.

PS3 doesn't seem to play DVD's which are both region 2 and 5. I've seen this with many DVD's.

Regarding the Angels & Demons, if you;ve got it from UK then it's region locked for B. If it's a Indian buy then you can ask for refund. US version seems to be region free.

Some blu ray players esp. Sony ones seem to have this problem of calling disks with the correct region too discarded. It could also be that the disk has an issue (wrong info printed). Try and call Sony service center or check with someone in Chennai who can verify the region encoded if he has a region free player.

never had these stupid problems in the days of VHS !!!!!!!

Really tired of this Region Coding business.....I think we all should stop buying BDs to protest Region Coding.

Don't think that that is any solution and that ain't gonna work. Even the DVD's were region coded so in that case you need to throw away your DVD's too

Sorry Balu,

Just made fun out of you..Pondy is famous for liquor... so linked it and mentioned whether you are influenced/full loaded with that while loading the disc..

What konfused is telling is right about the disc.... and also as venkat is telling dual side disc are available in Region A.... Already it was widely used for HD-DVD's.

Just faced the same problem for this disk I think. Bought a Pioneer BDP-450. Plays everything, not this. The package says region A/B/C. My PS3 plays this properly.

Also, for some strange reason, I think Pioneer has sold me a region A player, could it be a case where the disk is actually a region C disk but is mislabelled. However, why then wouldn't it play on the OP's player...

Any help would be appreciated.

There are a few BDs sold in India which are wrongly marked ABC, ie, region free. In reality, they're not. The Chronicles of Narnia - Prince Caspian is one such example. Regarding the pioneer BDP, are you sure it is really region free? Many players are sold as "Universal disc player" which simply means that they can play all disc formats such as BD, DVD-video, DVD-audio, SACD, CD, MP3, etc., etc. That does not mean that they are region unlocked which is a totally different thing.

Ummm. Not completely. There was still the PAL and NTSC thingy ...

 

[Amarendra]

Do blu ray discs have NTSC/ PAL ? I've heard that so long as the display is compatible the player doesnt have an issue ? Is this right ?

The answer to that question is YES and NO. If you connect BDP to TV via Composite AV or Component AV, then NTSC/PAL comes into the picture. If you connect via HDMI, then that is not an issue.

But if your display device (typically TV) is multi-system, then it does not matter.

Where did you get the Pioneer BDP-450 from, in Kolkata, if you don't mind my asking? I tried looking for it too, but was told that the BDP-440 was only available. The Pio BDP-440 is glitchy even though it's PQ and SQ are impressive. Unfortunately, the player, a legal purchase with bill/Pio India warranty, is region locked to 5/C and has problems with the infamous "Star Trek" DVD as well. As does a Region 5 Locked Panasonic DVD player I tested the disc in.
