Quick question:

Are they multi-region?

 

[Eastleigh Northstander]

Yep they are, all games play whether they are U.S, Japanese or European. The only thing that is region locked is Blue-Ray Films.
Hope this helps

Not all blu-ray films are region locked but obviously you would have to check with your retailer before puchase.

I bought Planet Earth (BBC) in blu ray from Amazon USA and it is region free.

Brilliant! Thanks very much for that! I shall be purchasing one, then.

I've just imported one from Hong Kong, at the current US$ exchange rate it saved me over £100 on the cost of them in the UK shops, means I can import US and Asian Blu-Ray and save as they are normally a fair bit cheaper than here. Customs only stuck £17 on it too, shame that Parcel Force added another £13 handling charge. Bloody rip off merchants.

Nice deal.

What's the situation with warranty though?

Does it have to go all the way back?

Yeah unfortunatly the warrenty would mean sending it back there unless I could blag something with Sony over here, I'd try telling them I lived over there and shipped it over here with the rest of my belongings and see what they say. Of course fingers crossed nothing will go wrong with it.
