Wife in the EU, any Blu-Ray she should buy me?
My wife is in England for a couple weeks and are there any Blu-Ray movies that she can buy me that I can play in my US PS3? I am not really sure how imports work with BRD regional coding. Any tips on ones available there that I should get her to pick up that are not available here?

Both the film and special features on "The Seventh Seal" BR are viewable, but for some reason the package also includes a PAL version of the standard DVD (in addition to the BR) that you can only watch with a conversion player. Not that you'd want to watch it anyway (LOL), but just saying.
Thumbs-up on "Great Expectations" for many reasons, one being that you can watch everything you've paid for... even though it's just the film.

Have her pick me up a Region B PS3. I'll pay you back, honest.
