I had always hoped that the BLURAY format would mostly eliminate the old region coding scheme, but it hasn't worked that way in all cases. There is Region Coding for BDs, but (unlike with DVD format) the use of region coding for BD disks is optional for content providers. I've read that something around 70% of available BD Discs from the major studios are Region Code FREE and can therefore be played anywhere.Region coding for Anime BD's is even stranger, because North America shares the same region as Japan, so coding will not prevent re-imports which is always a major concern to the Japanese. Most current North American Anime BD releases are Region Free - except those from Funimation, and since we've recently gotten a few requests we have gone ahead and added BD Region Code info to the item pages for all of Funi's current BD releases.
So every one understands, BD Disk region coding divides the world into 3 regions:
A) Region A (that's us) includes most North, Central and South American and Southeast Asian countries plus Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong
B) Region B includes most European, African and southwest Asian countries plus Australia and New Zealand.
C) Region C contains the remaining central and south Asian countries, as well as China and Russia.
For your reference, here is a complete list of all Funi's current BD releases along with region coding information:
