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 "

you dont seriousely believe that!, in fact they are more likely to get hold of one before anyone else!, what would make this even funnier (admittedly i have not looked) is i hope the disc does not carry the Sony pictures home entertainment logo on it, that would be embarrassing!

I seriously wouldn't imagine that Sony view every film that is released..:smileyshocked:

However in answer to your question, yes I do, issues such as this don't usual come to Sony's attention until someone reports that they have a problem viewing the BD movie..

Yup Thalamus is correct - there is obviously something a little bit different about this disc so the player software needs to be modified to fix it. Usually the replication outfits rather than hardware manufacturers test discs for compatibility, certainly Sony DADC do, but for whatever outfit did this disc, it appears not to have happened.

I rented a copy from Blockbuster. Fright Night 2011 Blu Ray disc plays no problem on a PS3.

Have S-380 and this is happening with my copy of Fright Night which I bought yesterday as well. This isn't the first time something has happened with a disc. Kill List is prone to judder.

I find it hard to believe that this kind of problem occurs, Blu Ray is supposed to be the next step up in Viewing format and I mean it's not as if Blu Rays have only be around for a year. This kind of problem is nothing short of laziness and favouritism with other hardware (Namely the Ps3)

A friend of mine recently bought A PS3 because he was experiencing problems with playback on some Blu-Rays he's yet to have any problems.

I think the fact that the PS3 is working just goes to show that a similar constant firmware update system should be implemented on all Blu-Ray players also.

Please keep me informed as to the situation.
