Most of the time Sony in Europe is free region but on very few occasion, their did release region locked discs.

E.g. : Angels and Demons, Click, etc.

In some region B areas, sometimes (very rare), Sony will release region free title at some areas but at the sometime locked the region at other region B area.

E.g.: 3:10 To Yuma (German is free region but Australian region locked). blush.gif

Finish watching Misery still one of the best adaptations from Stephen King Novel film and Fabulous Kathy Bates acting. PQ & AQ wise is great and no artificial DNR issue. 4 Star for both PQ & AQ. 4.5 star for movie itself.

Highly recommended!

What you mean by "1 side is Blu-ray , the other side is DVD". You mean 2 disc set or otherwise?

I found Fargo in Blu-ray + DVD | It is a Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo

What you mean by 1 side Blu-ray, another DVD? Is that means front is Blu-ray, when you flip over, back is DVD?

I never seen such combination disc yet, the only I had in two surface is DVD18 - The Matrix Ultimate Collection BD - one of the special features disc DVD.
