Just an update as I played around with the xRegistry.sys over the weekend. I have a PAL slim model which plays region 2 DVDs (as it should). I edited the xRegistry.sys file with the xregistry editor to set the DVD region to 1. Nope, it didn't work - the system still refuses to play the region 1...

Well that's a bit odd if you're connected via HDMI as there is no PAL or NTSC carried via HDMI I'm going to mess about with my PS3 slim at the weekend to see if I can get it play different region DVDs

I would have thought that you can't make the DVD drive region free to watch films from any region. Isn't the DVD drive hardware locked to a single region, that region being the territory for which the PS3 was purchased? If that's the case, no software will help.
