Make Playstation 3 regionfree for DVD/Blu Ray Movies?

[Hoschi102]

Hi,

has anyone figured out a way to make the Playstation 3 play all Movie-DVDs and BDs regardless of the region code?

Currently my European PS3 won't play US-DVDs (RC1), as far as I know Blu Rays have region code as well.

But normally there is always a way around it. So I am just wondering if anyone figured out yet if it is possible to do this with a PS3 and how.

I suppose, like the PS2, you would require a modchip.

Indeed, there's no mod to do this, and no bootdisc.

This is why I bought a US machine. Blu-Ray region A is essentially 'region free', in the sense that you can watch Japanese/Asian releases, western releases from America, and even a large amount of European releases (as region free titles are common).
