Buying a computer system - Region codes?


Expert: Bobbert - 6/9/2009

Question
I am looking to purchase a PC from the United States with a built in blueray player. However I live in Australia. Are PC's rgion free and will i be able to play Australian blue ray discs, and if not - is there a way around it?

Thanks

Answer
The Blu-ray player may or may not be region free, and the included software may or may not be region free additionally, this would be somewhat complicated to circumvent, as HDCP is enforced on modern computers. My suggestion would be to purchase whichever computer you'd like, and add a Blu-ray player available in your area (either a standalone unit, or as an upgrade to your PC), thus ensuring compatability and no issues with region support.

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
