Making the PS3 region free

victor_ray · 17-06-09, 03:17 PM

Hi guys I was wondering if any of you could shine some light on a problem that my friend is having with his PS3.

He bought his PS3 in Hong kong when they first came out, before the UK. Knowing his PS3 is of a different region, some one said that uk blu ray dvds will work. He recently bought some from block buster and found that some worked and some didn't.

What I would like to know, is there a way of making the PS3 region free

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

PS3 games are region free aren't they? It's just the Blu-Ray movies that are region locked I think.
