How To Change PlayStation 3 Blu-ray Drive Region On Custom Firmware 3.55! [Guide]

With all the recent PlayStation 3 jailbreak achievements and custom firmwares coming out back to back, there was one little problem remaining to be overcome. The problem was, you could only watch Blu-Ray movies from the region that you were allowed to. This problem seems to have now been resolved with a “region patcher” that allows you to bypass this block and turn your PS3 Blu-Ray drive virtually region free making it simply the best Blu-Ray player in the world!
