I wonder if it might require just new firmware? [Sorry, had 2 HTF windows open, and had to move to the other topic before I forgot what I wanted to say...now to finish. :)] In the circumstance I mentioned for something totally different (BDs choking) but maybe not unrelated, it actually turned...

^ False lead then. I have only a few BDs that don't play in two of my players, and they're all from the same studio, some copy-protection thing that chokes them, so thought it might be something similar. Anyway, in your case it's probably something a firmware fix can handle.

I don't know what PPZ is (brain cramp), but I'm sure you noticed Lucy and Oblivion are both Universal, and the others I know of (that also play fine) aren't...

True, they're not aiming at the HT market. But you'd almost figure bitstreaming audio would be some kind of default, you don't have to pay for any extra decoding licenses etc. for it. I wonder why you'd purposely not do it? Must be some internal technical gotcha in some chipset etc. that I...

[More of my OT...] Yup, my fattie YLODed yesterday, after ~9 years. No symptoms at all, just bit it; 2 minutes with an industrial heatgun "cured" it enough to extract everything, but I know it won't last. So...I'm in the market, bring the new consoles on. My "backup" PS3 now needs a backup...

^ I forgot about PSNow, don't even know how it works. I've never given PSN (PlayStation Network) any money yet, I only connect when I need to, like to get the "free" DLC or updates from whatever I've bought. IOW I'm pretty clueless about any of the online Sony stuff, not to mention MS. I rarely...

^ Well yeah, at launch. But not for long, I got my fat PS3 like a year after initial launch and it already couldn't do it. To get people to go to the trouble (and it was a lot of trouble) to develop for the PS3, they had to "guarantee" sales of new games. That's why I talk about software...

^ [Sorry for the OT...] I am hoping it isn't a fantasy too. My fat 3 is soldiering on, only one laser deck replacement so far (easy, cheap). I had to literally beg for the store to sell me the super-slim 3 (very last version it turned out) one year ago, the manager really didn't want to (Best...

I'm in for a VR console and a game called "Lazy Billionaire". That's where the real money is my friends. Everything else is just a tease.

I know I've said it before, but "the game's the thing" for me. My PS4 collects dust and my PS3s are working overtime (I have this fantasy that cycling between them preserves their life). And I know we (in the A/V "community") are a minority as far as console sales, but I was one of many who got...
