Re: Blueray player versus Playstation 3
My dad bought a Samsung Blue ray player based on it's price (R1000) and we could and did unlock it to be region free. I'll give you details if you want. I pushed for a PS3 because I wanted the PS3 and GT5 and his words were 'I'll never see the PS3 again'.
The PS3 is more versatile but at 3 times the price it should be.

Re: Blueray player versus Playstation 3
that would probably be region free for DVD only - Blu-ray has only three regions and most discs are not coded for them currently (at least 90% of the discs will play in any region) but to make a player region free for Blu-ray will require hardware changes so you may mistakenly think that yours is region free but that will only apply for the 8 dvd regionsand we could and did unlock it to be region free
as an example the Oppo BDP 95 costs around R12k and to make it region free you have to replace a daughter board in the player to a modded version and that costs around R5k on its own - so yep Blu-ray region free is not as easy as you may think
the only other method i would know of is to backup the blu-ray using a blu-ray writer where you remove the AACs and region coding as well the BD+ protection and write the disc to a blank - that would be cheaper cos right now blu-ray burners are getting under R1k - and blank discs are around R25 for a 25 gig single layer disc and around R80 for a dual layer 50 gig disc

Re: Blueray player versus Playstation 3
Some BRD are not region locked if I am not mistaken. I know the ps3 games arent region locked at all so it is easy to get titles you wouldnt be able to get from europe ect (looking at importing Catherine ) but I havent tried any movies yet.
