Page 1 of region b/2. will it play in New Zealand

i want to send a blu ray to friends in New Zealand, i have sent them some before, but i think they were region free a/b/c. this one they want says region b/2 i think. from what i have read New Zealand and Australia are region b, is that right, and will this disk play ok down there?

many thanks

Region B/2 works here in the UK and in New Zealand, so you should be fine.

Australian DVD`s are supposed to be region 4, but most are dual 2/4 (My copy of episode 2 I purchased in Brisbane is)

But on a more direct-to-the-player-in-question reply, can`t you just ask your friend to look in the instruction manual or the back plate of the machine for the BD area code letter.....?

thanks.

i was going to ask my friend if i couldn`t find out here, but i don`t hear from them all the time so i didn`t want to wait days to find out from them.

i have just ordered the blu ray.

many thanks again for the help.

Yes it will, NZ is region B along with OZ, pretty much all of Europe, Africa and Asia

Also depending on the studio the disk could very well be region free anyhow, All titles from Universal are region free, or at least Im yet to encounter a region locked one....

thanks for the comments. i bought a couple of Blu Rays, one ended up being region free the other is b2 so that`s fine..

thanks again.

Cool, no probs, Bryan.

Formats have always confused us - first we had to understand whether a country used PAL, NTSC or SECAM, not to mention whether they were using VHS or Betamax, then we had 6 numbered regions to identify and now we have these damn letters! lol

For what it`s worth, I have several friends who don`t even realise they have Blu-Ray players under their TV sets, as their husbands/partners installed the box and told them it was a DVD player so as not to confuse them! I am repeatedly explaining the difference and giving demonstrations to prove the quality is better. It has gone straight over their heads...

i have given up saying blu ray when looking at new titles. only a few people even know what i am on about. i think most stop listening to me when i say picture quality.........

thanks again.
