I bought a movie from Germany (it was the only option) which turned out to be a PAL formatted disc on Blu-ray. My Blu-ray player won't touch it, and my region-free DVD player won't touch it either.
I know my computer doesn't play Blu-Rays, and the new external DVD drive I bought says it plays everything EXCEPT Blu-Rays.
I seem to be stuck.
I had always assumed Blu-Rays were universal. Guess not.
