Damn, the price went up. My mind was already in "buy mode" but not anymore since the price has gone up by $0.80.

This will be $14.99 during the July Barnes and Noble sale. Wait it out!!

I picked it up yesterday during the B&N 40% off blu-ray sale along with M. Can't wait to watch both of them!

This one was excellent. I really loved it and highly recommend picking it up.

Anyone have any issues with the last and next to last chapter of this film glitching? Freezing, skipping, jittering etc... I'm on my third copy from B&N and I guess it's just my player. My firmware is up to date and everything. I just want to see how the damn thing ends

I've watched it twice on a Sony 590 and had no problems.

If you are on your third copy, it's DEFINITELY your player.

I've got this an I had no problems at all with it and I haven't read other reports of problems.

Fortunately, BD players are cheap thes days and it's sounds like you're about ready for a new one. Honestly, given the price of BD players, I think it's highly advisable for those of us who regularly buy Blu-rays to have a SECOND player as a back-up and to help confirm any issues. You can probably find a cheap player for $50.00. I have a Panasonic as my main player and a PS3 backup. Having two players has helped on a couple of occassions to isolate problems.

Two players is definitely the way to go - one region-free, and one region-locked. That way, you can save wear and tear on the region-free player, and also use it to troubleshoot problems with discs. Dual-layer burned DVDs almost never play on my Panasonic 3-D player, but they work like a charm on my region-free Insignia.

My $70 Samsung Blu-ray player works like a champ, and it's probably even cheaper now, since a year has gone by. When it comes to things like this, I like the idea of having something inexpensive and "semi-disposable", so that, if something goes wrong, it won't break the bank to replace it.

The idea of having a backup Blu-ray player has never really occurred to me, but it's probably not a bad idea, especially for those who want multi-region capability.

On the thread subject...

Ministry of Fear is one of my favorite Blu-ray titles of 2013.

Watched this tonight. Terrific movie. Loved it! Ray Milland is awesome.
