All 5 blu-rays did not play
I purchased this blu-ray set (5 discs) from an American company through U.S. Amazon. It arrived on December 12, 2012 and I returned it, the next day, on December 13.

I tested all 5 blu-rays on my Panasonic blu-ray player. There was audio, but no video. So, I got sound, but no picture. My Panasonic blu-ray player works on my other blu-rays, DVDs, and CDs.

I did some research and here is some useful information for U.S consumers.

Samsung players and most LG players will play this BBC product (coded Region Free).
Sony and Panasonic will not play this BBC product.
Many Toshiba, Sharp, Pioneer, and Denon players will not play this BBC product.

The above information is from "Burketop". Please read the commentary dated December 4, 2012 which is located under a review dated November 14, 2012. I suggest you read Burketop's full commentary for more complete and accurate information.

December 24,...
