Dragon Ball Z DVD/Blu-Ray Releases Regions

Post by BobZ » Thu Sep 09, 2010 5:52 pm

Okay... here's the deal. I just got my PS3 delivered today and the first thing I tried to do was play one of my Dragon Box discs in it. Guess what? It didn't play. Apparently, I've missed out on the fact the the PS3 DVD/Blu-Ray player is not region free...

I tried to get some further info online, but I still seem to be a bit at a loss.

DVDs aside, I'm more concerned about Blu-Ray playback, because I can still use my PS2 to watch my precious DBOXes.
However, I really want to get my hands on the DBZ KAI Blu-Ray sets as well. What bothers me is that I might not be able to play them. :S I think I read somewhere that the BR player is not that limited, so I should be able to play most discs...
My question is this: does anybody who has an European PS3 console own any DBZ KAI BR discs and can they be played on it?

It would really suck if it turns out I won't be able to play them /which, to my devastation, seems kind of logical as they are North American releases like the DVDs/.
