Thanks, folks. I plan on having my brother help me (he’s opened up his PS4 and got it running better in the past) very soon.
Update for thought—turns out the CUTTING CLASS disc was defective. I asked Vinegar Syndrome for a replacement, and it works fine now. Since the only other issues I’ve...
Hi folks,
I've been having an issue with my white "Destiny" special edition PS4 from 2014 recently during blu-ray playback. (I use it exclusively for BD playback these days, and haven't played a game on it for about a year now.) The problem started around last December, when my Star Trek TOS...
Got the complete set recently, and tried playing the streaming commentary with Twohy and Diesel. I was miffed that about a minute and thirty seconds into it, the movie kept playing but the sound (including the commentary) cut out completely. I tried restarting it three times and the same exact...
Speaking of this, I just purchased the 3D/2D version at Target with the "Only at Target: Exclusive Bonus Content" sticker advertising some feature called "Behind the Lens: The Making of Captain America: The Winter Soldier". I popped in the disc and found only the regular 2D bonus features...
Yup, I have glasses too so I already have some of those, and they do indeed work well. I can't believe all these homemade methods I'm hearing about though... ...seriously, a banana? :P
Hi folks, I've done a lot of internet searching in the past hour, but can't seem to come up with a decent ballpark answer so I thought I'd poll you guys here. I had a skip scare earlier tonight when I was watching my BD copy of Vertigo (out of the Universal box) for the first time. There were no...
I completely agree. I too have noticed the trailers and TV Spots dropping from the special features sections and it greatly disheartens me. That's not to say that every trailer is as much a work of art, as, say, the one for Alien, but I've always been fascinated by the marketing and...
I'm a Hitchcock completist, especially from 1934 onward. I'm currently running through all his films from that date on concurrently with the BD's that have been released so far (in the US region, anyway). I was just contemplating pulling the trigger (heh) on Warner's "Dial M For Murder" when the...
Hasn't the forthcoming release of a WHV "Ultimate Collector's Edition" of the trilogy been officially announced for Spring 2013? I assume we'd get all these extras plus more, in that case...precisely why I'm saving my money now...
Another LOST home video release, another Best Buy question... Does anyone know what's on the Best Buy exclusive disc that will be attached to the Season 6 sets on Tuesday? Additionally, will this exclusive disc be included with the Complete Collection(s) as well? I know in the past BB has...
Hello you fine folks!
I apologize if this thread is erroneous or out of place. I did a quick search to see where other discussions of this topic might be and all I found was the main BR appreciation thread. I felt that this would be out of place there, but if there's somewhere else it needs to...
Kudos to Warner's for addressing the problem...though I still take issue with their handling of this release, I at least respect them for trying to fix a mistake.
That is, for now. I filled out that form and sent it on Saturday...still no word at all. Has everyone gotten a response yet or are...
That TVshowsondvd.com story sounds encouraging, but I feel like doing more. WHV really soiled the bed on this one...something I noticed right away when I walked into Best Buy on release day (at 1 in the afternoon) and saw tons of DVD copies (both regular and "limited" edition) and only one (the...
Uh...I would assume the television. In all honesty I don't know how running HDMI plus speakers works, but I do know the PS3's new software update included an option to output to multiple audio sources...
But if using a set of speakers with an HDMI connection sounds undo-able to you, please let...
Ghostbusters 2 deserves some major home video love. Ever since I pored over the official novelization and comic book adaptation (starring the Real Ghostbusters! haha) I have wanted to see the scene where Ray, possessed by Vigo, drives the Ecto-1 very dangerously through the Manhattan streets...
Personally, I like the discs that default to a menu...it allows you to pop in the disc and just let it start up while you go grab a chair or popcorn or whatever, rather than having to wait there (or worse, rush back) as the movie starts automatically and then pause it. But it is a personal...
Hey folks,
Just throwing out a general question...anybody got a recommendation for a good pair of speakers on the cheap side? I'm using a 22'' Samsung HDTV and a PS3 with HDMI connection. The TV speakers are really good for such a unit but a little low on the volume, especially when playing DTS...
Yeah Jim, just based on looking around these threads it does seem to be a problem with most players...though there's no rhyme or reason to it. Basically it seems to boil down to whether you are a lucky or unlucky person
Anyway I had planned to wait it out as you have, but the BX1 was a...
I'm having a very similar problem as the OP, only on my BDP-BX1 (basically a S350 in disguise). BD discs freeze up after an indeterminate period of time (anywhere from 20-60 minutes), and the problem can sometimes be instigated if I skip around chapters while playing, or rewind/fast forward for...
After scouring the forums here, I think I may have a better theory. I found a post regarding a problem someone was having with their Sony (forget which model it was) but their description of the problem sounded very similar. BD's locking up, DVD's playing fine, etc. About the only thing that was...
Well, I received and installed the latest firmware update, confirmed that it installed, etc. etc.
And of course, the problem still persists. I have a new theory though...
My roommate and I just watched Independence Day (on standard DVD) and then I decided to pop in the True Romance BD to...
Precisely why I'm very hesitant to buy this until they put a Blu-Ray release together. They'd have to have some frelling awesome new content to get me to pay $200 when I already have the entire series on standard-def.
Thanks for the reply, Jim. Literally a few minutes before I saw it I thought to check the status of my firmware...and sure enough, there's an update I need to install. So I shall do that and see if that fixes the problem. I must admit the discs I have noticed this happening to are ones that...
Hey folks, I own a BDP-BX1 and have since December 2008. So far it's been running without a hitch but in the last few weeks I've noticed something troubling. Randomly, without seeming cause, blu-ray playback will suddenly freeze. All it takes to get things going again is simply rewinding (or...
