JohnFlower Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Even if you get a DVD from a different region, you can only change the region a specific number of times. If you were trying this on a PC with a decent internal Blu-Ray drive, you could reset the counter every time you reboot. Your best option would be to play it on your PC (assuming you have a decent internal Blu-Ray drive). If you have an internal Blu-Ray drive in your PC but don't want to hook it up to your television or whatever, another option would be to remux. Of course you would need AnyDVD or similar software to decrypt the disc. Probably a learning curve for you? If you don't have an internal Blu-Ray drive in your PC, then I suggest you say fuck you to Sony and whoever produced/distributed that disc and go find yourself a copy on your favourite torrent site. P.S. lol, you're using a PS4 for multimedia consumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroPenguins Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I thought you could use a program to playback any region locked DVDs or BDs. Back in the day I used to use DVD43 worked pretty well for all my decrypting and region unlocking needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnFlower Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 You'd need AnyDVD to do that sort of thing for Blu-Rays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS4 is brand new hardware, which means theres no way to hack it yet. You'll have better luck with a PC drive or certain BD drives that be "unlocked", or a modded PS3. You could also just get a cheap BD player from region A for that specific purpose. Another option is ripping the BD to your PC, stripping out the region locking, and burning a new disc Edited February 9, 2015 by Badman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnFlower Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) The fact of the matter is that a PS4 is designed by corporations for corporations. You have all sorts of DRM and geoblocking going on. While you can wait for a possible solution to this case of geoblocking, PCs already have a way around it. Burning Blu-Ray discs is another option, but it will end up being more expensive than purchasing a lifetime license for AnyDVD (highly recommended, btw). Edit: And let's not forget about Cinavia...

StaticX Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 You would be better buying one of those Laser Branded Region Free Bluray Players, and while your at it, sell the PS4 and get a PS3 imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
