Region codes

Regions for Blu-ray standard Blu-ray discs may be encoded with a region code, intended to restrict the area of the world in which they can be played; similar to the DVD region codes. Blu-ray players sold in a certain region should only be able to play discs encoded for that region. The purpose of this system is to allow motion picture studios to control the various aspects of a release (including content, date, and, in particular, price) according to the region. Discs may also be produced without region coding, so they can be played on all devices.

Region code Area
A/1	North America, Central America, South America, Japan, Taiwan, North Korea, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia.
B/2	Europe, Greenland, French territories, Middle East, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, plus all of Oceania.
C/3	India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Mainland China, Pakistan, Russia, Central, and South Asia.
