From the original article:

All titles are Region B coded
So in this case, at least, they are region coded.

Optimum are now going to releasing on both formats in the UK starting with The Host, Pan's Labyrinth and Wolf Creek in November.

The sequel to STORM RIDERS, Storm Warriors, is up for pre-order, coming out early February!

The Blu-Ray plays in USA Blu Ray players and it's got English subtitles.

This is the correct thread, but the news isn't good...

(If you have some money to burn, though, you can pick up a Sherwood BDP-5004 for $170 shipped on Amazon. I just got mine the other day, and it played The Red Shoes -- a region B title -- beautifully after punching in a code on the remote. I have a slew of other region B titles to me in the mail now to celebrate. )

I have the Region B District 13 Ultimatum I just got from Amazon UK. The release is from Momentum which had a trailer of Mesrine, so I am assuming they will release it. Ultimatum is Region B locked.

Wake in Fright (also known overseas by its more descriptive title Outback)

Sweat, Dust and Beer... There's Nothing Else Out Here Mate!

Awe-inspiring, brutal and stunning, Wake in Fright is the story of John Grant, a bonded teacher who arrives in the rough outback mining town of Bundanyabba planning to stay overnight before catching the plane to Sydney. But his one night stretches to five and he plunges headlong toward his own destruction. When the alcohol-induced mist lifts, the educated John Grant is no more. Instead there is a self-loathing man in a desolate wasteland, dirty, red-eyed, sitting against a tree and looking at a rifle with one bullet left...

Believed lost for many years, Wake in Fright has been painstakingly restored by Australia’s National Film and Sound Archive and AtLab Deluxe, and is presented in its original uncompromising form.
