Do the bluray discs compatibility are affected by NTSC and PAL standards like the dvd? I mean if I buy a region free bluray made in UK or any country with PAL standard, can I play that disc in my US bluray player?

This depends on the disc. TV shows are often encoded with 25 or 50 frames/s, and will not play on most US players / TVs.Do the bluray discs compatibility are affected by NTSC and PAL standards like the dvd?

Well, you better do. EU/AU/US players may be different, for whatever reason.I
As it would if the TV was a Panny HD UK TV. The UK HD TV/BD Player will certainly play 50i, 60i, 24p media, I cant imagine that this is not the same for USA.
Just being anal: US discs are usually 23.976. EU discs are often 24p. E.g., Cloud Atlas is the most recent, popular example.Actually james, blu-ray discs here in the EU are 24p just the same like they are everywhere else.
A TV never speeds anything up to 25 frames.They play in 24p aswell if your tv set is configured to play them like that (like mine is), otherwise it's the TV that speeds it up to 25 frames.
So while the bought UK disc should technically play just fine on the US player, it won't if it has a region code on it for region B alone
If a disc has some 576i trailer before the main movie (next on Blu-ray, blah...) it won't play on non PAL capable US players. You might not even reach the main menu.

the bold parts are non US specifications but EU ones (PAL)
LOL I know, I made them Bold to make the point. They are ALL part of the spec.
That is the spec worldwide.
