UK Blu-Rays Playability?
 

Let The Right One In, Night of the Living Dead, and Switchblade Romance UK Blu-Rays. Do they play on a Region A Blu-Ray player? Also, how good are the picture, sound, and special features re. each?

Let The Right One In - region free

No idea about the other two.

Whilest we're on the subject of playability I have a question about another Blu-Ray. The Japanese Blu-Ray of the Japanese edit of Kill Bill Vol.1, will it play on my Region A Blu-Ray player?

Re: UK Blu-Rays Playability?
 

Japan is Region A, so yes.

Re: UK Blu-Rays Playability?
 

I didn't think there was a confirmed Japanese BD of that, anyway, all the details look pretty sketchy.

Haute Tension/Switchblade Romance (UK/Optimum Release) is Region B locked. PQ is solid, upgrade from the DVD releases.

Both NOTLD releases have their issues, which are addressed here. The original release by Optimum is Region B locked, while the new release by Network is Region-Free. Again both have issues:

Can't the same be said about every release on DVD? Each one seemed to have their own specific shortcomings...

Re: UK Blu-Rays Playability?
 

The Japanese Blu-ray for Kill Bill Vol. 1 is the US cut of the film. It even states this on the front cover so there is no reason to import the Japanese release unless you really want to spend a lot of money for little more extra features.

That is what I thought.

Re: UK Blu-Rays Playability?
 

Whew! Good to know that's not the Japan cut. I'm sticking firm with my import DVDs on these two until available on Blu.

Since there are no doubt a lot of questions like this, perhaps someone should change the title to Is this Blu-Ray Playable in the US? and make it a sticky?
