I think showtime might help, I haven't tried it with any other region then my own so I'm not sure, but give it a try I guess.

I think there's currently no method to make the PS3 dvd region free (there's only a method for blu-ray regions).


The best way is to rip your dvd.

Any new updates? So how do we make the PS3 Blu-Ray Region Free?

not sure if this also switches DVD region as BD region is changed...

BluRay region switcher This makes changing the BluRay region switching possible. The method described below is using 3 region specific bytes (0x84, 0x85, 0x8C) to change the modelinfo. Other modelinfo byte values: 0x81 Reference Tool, 0x82 Debug, 0x83 Japan (00), 0x84 North America (01), 0x85 Europe, Middle East, Africa (04), 0x86 South Korea (05), 0x87 United Kingom, Ireland (03), 0x88 Mexico (11), 0x89 Australia, New Zealand (02), 0x8A Singapore, Malaysia (06), 0x8B Taiwan (07), 0x8C Russia, India (08), 0x8D China (09), 0x8E Hong Kong (12) Payloader method prerequisites: LV2 Patcher v9 patchfiles (see below) patch4.txt content (3.55 offsets): # BD Region A (NTSC) [North America] # Patches marked with (*1) seem to be unstable.
