Why won't "Fright Night 2011" Bluray play on S480 ?

[katzsisters]

Despite trying another Fright Night disk, both Blockbuster rental disks refuse to show anything.

It showed couple of screens that looked like the menu background, and then it looked like the player had switched itself off. Sio I gave it ten minutes to no avail.

I had a look at the disk, but it was very clean with no scratches, so we took it back and got another copy. Exactly the same thing !

The 480 is updated to the latest firmware, and just to be sure, I attempted to reload the firm again to be told "already loaded"

The assistant said nobody else had any trouble with "Fright Night", so it must be the player. However, it played a "Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark" bluray perfectly, along with my usual test BD "Avatar - Collector's Edition "

Hi All,

Please see below an update on the fright night issue..

Sony are looking into the issue that's been mentioned in this thread..

There has been a delay because a copy of the Blu Ray disc has to be sent to Sony Japan, unfortunately, although requests were made to local rental stores for a copy of the 'rental version' of the Fright Night BD, nothing was actually recieved by Sony..

The retail version of Fright Night was released on the 20th February 2012 & Sony UK have ordered a copy of the retail version but at the moment I do not know if that produces the same problems that the rental version has caused..

Has anybody been able to check if this runs succesfully on thier BD player..:smileyconfused:

I bought the Blu-ray of Fright Night from Sainsbury's but it wouldn't play on my BDP-S185. I sent the disc back thinking that was where the problem lay as my Blu-ray player is less than 2 months old but the replacement disc still wouldn't play.  I rang the shop where the player came from and the firmware update was suggested.  I have performed the update and am now running on the "33" version but the disc still won't play!

I'm wondering if they'll let me take the player back for a refund....

Hi

We bought Blu ray of Fright night from Amazon. We have a BDPS380 Not only does it not play the disc, it also jams up the machine and you have to turn it off at the wall, in order to even get the disc out of the player.

We are using the latest version of the firmware. Our player is only 2 months old

To be fair on this one I think Sony had dificulty in obtaing a copy of the fright night BD & had to wait for the retail version to be released so that they could purchase a copy & forward to Japan..
