James Bond Blu ray Collection - Volumes 1 & 2 (1 Viewer)

NP so far w/ the 3 Connery Bonds on my PS3, which only has v2.4(?) software, IIRC, not the latest update.

For one thinking of buying a Sony Blu-Ray player for the first time and who wants to buy the Blu-Ray James Bond discs, should one wait till the problems are fixed with these discs or is this really an uncomplicated issue to fix? What are the solutions for a novice Blu-Ray person?

 

[Jim_K]

The best solution is a PS3.

I had no problems with 4 out of the 5 films (Didn't buy Die Another Day) I've watched so far. I also haven't done a firmware update in several weeks.

 

[Scott Merryfield]

I own the latest entry level model Sony BDP-S350, and all six Bond discs play on my player.

 

[ManW_TheUncool]

Maybe it's only a problem w/ the older model players?

I couldn't get past the menu screen on THUNDERBALL on my Sony BDP-S300. Upgrading the the newest firmware (4.3) solved the problem.

And I'm happy to report that I was able to use all three of my moviecash certificates (from the three Connery Bond Blu-rays) for three tickets for QUANTUM OF SOLACE. But man, what an effing headache getting the stickers off and deciphering the code numbers, not to mention de-gunking the slipcovers. Was SPECTRE behind this insidious plot?

 

[ManW_TheUncool]

Haven't used mine (4) yet, but yeah, I tried getting one of them off, and I think they got mixed up and actually ended up w/ CONTROL doing it in a project spearheaded by Agent 86.

The one I tried was so bad that it was actually easier to read the reversed text off the cover than the intended text off the sticker. I guess I should just be thankful I could read all the essential text at all (reversed or not).

I'm debating as what to do. I have the same player and the same problem with FYEO. I bought both sets so should I return one of them, or hope they fix the problems and arrange to send a replacement disc, or hope that there's a firmware update that fixes the problem?

 

[Mark Hawley]

Sorry double post.

 

[ScottJH]

Amazon has both collections for $64.95 today.

 

[John_S]

Yup, I have the same machine and I'm also debating whether to return FYEO or hope for the fix.

 

[Matt Hough]

Isn't it strange that the other five Bonds played fine in the 1500 but not FOR YOUR EYES ONLY? I don't get it.

 

[John H Ross]

Well presumably that's because there IS a technical fault with FYEO. All of the others are merely firmware compatability issues. FYEO has a corrupt .jar file (whatever one of those is). Some players are fine with it though. My Panny BD-50 sailed through it.

 

[Jeff_HR]

As did my old up-to-date firmware Sony S500 & New Sony S550!

 

[TonyD]

Regarding the BD James Bond Collection:


Wonder if this will solve first generation playability issues?
