Hello, forgive if this is a Newbie question, but are Blu-Ray discs Region Coded? And are they manufactured to either only play in PAL or NTSC like regular DVDs?

I ask because I want to this Blu-Ray from Europe because it's only available in Blu-Ray over there and only standard DVD here in America.

Thanks.

Yes I believe Bluray is region protected.
but if your bluray player is on your computer there are programs like AnyDVD that will take away the Region coding.

According to bluraystats.com 70% of all BluRay movies are region-free. Most of the Warner, Universal and Paramount releases are region-free. Fox is the only studio that insists on region-locked discs.

Check these sites to see which titles are region-free or not:
