HD-DVD Player: Region Free?


Recommended Posts

Hello Guys,

Saturday morning i recieved my HD-DVD Drive, but oh horror ... No King Kong was included :s

So now I'm looking for some HD-DVD movies which are pretty much non-existant in Denmark.

But one webshop i always use can import copies from both UK and the US ( Mostly from the US )

Would my HD-DVD drive be able to play those from the US?

Got it from my local online hardware shop - i haven't seen one mention on any Danish sites about King Kong being included.

It's pretty lame since i have a useless HD-DVD drive right now :p

Yes -- All HD DVD discs and players are region free. I have ordered a copy of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire from the UK and it plays perfectly for me here in the US. I've also just pre-ordered a copy of The Prestige on HD DVD from France.

My belief is that the HD-DVD drive is unlocked, however, your Xbox360 isn't and that is where it will get it's region encoding from. So no you wouldn't be able to play multiple regions using it.

oh man, you guys are confusing him. the 360's regional coding is for DVD's only (automatic) and for games (optional per mfgr). HD DVD's...not sure if they're region free.

and i'm sure Denmark gets as much HD DVD titles as any other place.
