No it is not. Not even Canada and US versions are the same. Like some of the other brands, the software can be unlocked (hacked), to allow the region to be changed from the remote. There are websites that have directions on how.

Go to http://www.firmwareinfo.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t;=94. I don't know it works or not.

Yes. The PS3 is "region free", however if you plan on buying any downloads for those games, you would have to buy them from the Japanese Playstation Store.

I don't understand what you mean by "region free". This is just a portable DVD player that can be used to play DVDs. I use it in my home and it works well.

Googled a number of "region free" dvd players, a Samsung for as little as $40.00. LG also has "region free" players. Could not pin down a player that interfaces with computer but a bit more googling might find one.

Unfortunately, my answer would be a guess and I suggest you contact LG at http://www.lg.com/us. My best guess is that it is not "region free" or has an international format!

"It is a region free player"No, it is NOT a region free player, it plays region 1 DVDs and region A Blu-ray discs. It also plays region 0 DVDs.

I did not get to try it out. I returned it because I could not play DVD's which were formatted in PAL (European) even though they were region free

If it plays PAL, does that mean that the region coding can be overridden? That I can finally buy DVDs from overseas without a hitch? Let me know. Thanks.

PS3's are region free, so yes. No worries there. My copy plays perfectly on my PS3, and it is a US console.

No, this unit is not a region free unit and it will only play region 1 DVDs.

Region A only, however you can buy an adapter on eBay that will make it region free.

Region free is a code for Blu-rays and DVDs. Ranging from A/B/C/FREE for Blu-ray and 1/2/3/4/5/6/0 for DVD, this is the designated code for each region of the world. Region Free or Region 0 is a version that is not locked to any particular region and will typically play on any player worldwide. If you're looking for the biggest supplier for region free titles in the U.S you can check out http://scyllar.com/ they offering free shipping, no tax and have a huge selection of titles including region free imports.

yes, the dvd player is region free right out of the box - will play any region and I have personally used the player to play both UK (region 2) and US (region 1) dvds. The unit handles going from region 2 to region 1 and back to region 2 with absolutely no hesitation. The unit is also PAL/NTSC compatible which means something completely different - if you have a UK purchased television it is in PAL format while a US television is in NTSC format - this unit can be connected to either US or UK television and the image will display correctly. The plug that is with the unit is a US plug.

I've read people complain of this, but I cannot find where on the write ups this player says its multi-regional.Both the Sony website and the users manual say explicitly this player is only for region 1.

Games are region free but you need to update the vita itself before you get the games running. Do so in the settings somehow.

It was my understanding that the DVDs were region sensitive not the players. But what do I know.
