Hey, I noticed that 'Say, I Love You' hasn't been confirmed yet, but I can confirm it states A/B on the back cover and plays on both my PS3 and Blu-Ray Player

To be honest, geo locked releases should have their own list instead of being dumped on the PS3/4 compatible only list since they have no region coding and would work on a zone B player as long as the country code is set to United States as the Patlabor new files collection ran in my toshiba BDX1200 when it was set to zone B since the country code (either by default or from the Australian version region free firmware) is set to United States by default like it is on the PS3 and PS4.

Hey!
Does anyone know whether the Uta-No Prince-Sama blu-rays work with the Sentai By Pass Trick?
Thanks!

I'm just wondering if anyone knows the regions for any of these Sentai Filmworks Blu-Ray releases:
- Engaged to the Unidentified
- Maid Sama!
- Outbreak Company
- Place to Place
- Student Council's Discretion
- The World God Only Knows: Goddesses
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Most likely Region A. Some of them already can work via Geo-Lock method and I guess so will Place to Place and WGOK:G.

So I got my new blu-Ray player today(a samsung BD-H6500)and I tried to play my muv luv blu-Ray for the hell of it,and to my suprise it actually worked with no issues ,no region locked screen it just played on as normal.I have only tested sentai disks(I tried The world God only knows season 3 as well)and I don't have any region 1 FUNimation disks so I don't know if they will work but looks like I might have made a worthwhile purchase.

That's because of the geo-locking system. Your Blu-ray player's country may be set to America which is why Muv-Luv and The World God Only Knows: Goddesses worked.

Sorry I probably should have worded this better.what i was trying to say was that I was surprised to pick up a new blu Ray player which I thought would be region B only to find out that It can play region A disks.(Dumb question I know,but do you think Funi's disks will work?).

Nope. Funi region locks their discs. Sentai Geo-lock - so as long as the country code of your player is set to US you can play their discs.Type45 said:

Uh... I thought I knew about region locking but what's the difference between region and geo locking? Surely if your player is set to the same region as the disc you're trying to play there's no circumstances in which it wouldn't work? I have an old BD player I can just switch regions on by tapping a code into the remote.

Region Locking is as the name suggests. If there's a mismatch between the region coding of the disc and the player then the disc will not play.ayase said:
Geo Locking on the other hand is a relatively new thing - or at least it is to anime BDs. The discs checks the Country that the player is set to, NOT the actual player region. In Sentai's case if your player is set to US then the disc will play.
If it's set to, I dunno, Brazil or something then it will not - presenting you with a lockout screen, so you can have a region B/C player that's set to US and the disc will play fine. It just happens that PS3/PS4's and certain BD players are set to US by default, thus being able to play said discs.

Are all PS3's set to US by default? Even ones bought in the UK? So does that mean a UK bought PS3 can play US coded discs and region B Blurays?
Mangaranga

Well judging by the fact that nobody has reported being unable to play Sentai Geo Locked discs on PS3/PS4's yet I believe EU/US PS systems are set to US. Lot's of us confirmed titles like Chuuni worked.st_owly said:
Just to reiterate - this only applies to Sentai discs. Everyone else except Aniplex use traditional region locking still, so you can't buy any old Funi release and expect it to work.

Ah, okay. Just as long as if a player's good for any region it's still good for any disc... If I didn't have my region switchable player I think I'd just order a cheap region A player from the US to sit alongside my PS3, seems the best way of never having to consider what region discs are.
