The scene really isn't a big deal. It's annoying, but I don't think it will ruin the movie at all. It just makes me angry that I had to wait for two months for nothing. While I am happy to have gotten another case to use, I would have just kept my original copy if I had known.

Hey guys, I just checked my copy that I received from Sony and it is indeed FIXED.

That sucks that they just sent you the same exact copy, but be assured a fixed version does exist. I feel bad, especially for killowertz

Is there some sort of pressing number that can identify the good and bad versions?

Thanks for letting me know. I'll be giving them a call in a day or two and demand a fixed version.

Anybody who ordered this on Amazon recently can tell if it's the fixed version?

Okay I have a question on the replacement disc. The error is fixed but the audio sounds muffled! Like the DRC is on on my receiver which it is not. Switch to the french True Hd track and see what I mean. Far more dynamic and I am getting Bass that is 5+ db louder. Both True HD tracks are set at the same dialnorm so this is not an issue. It almost sounds like they mixed the track from a stereo source. The old disc had none of these issues. The audio sounded muffled and lacking dynamic responce within minutes of inserting it.

Keith Lemon · 02-10-2010, 10:27 AM

The answer, get the UK disc.

Well, it's not that simple since I don't have that issue and AFAIK it hasn't been reported elsewhere. Something else is wrong or mis-set.

Darth Plaguise · 03-18-2010, 03:49 AM

Well i would gladly help with this but it seems you guys are getting farther into the movie then i am. For some reason my Blu-ray player wont play mine or my dads version of Starship Troopers on Blu-ray disc. I have the Latest Firmware Update but it still wont play it. any help would be great.

#Darren · 03-18-2010, 04:23 AM

THE UK disk doesn't have the extra features.

The UK disc has a better transfer. It's not rocket science. Own both, it won't break the bank...

What player do you have? If you don't have a player with internal memory,an SD memory card or a USB Flash drive connected to the player, this movie will NOT play. For some dumb reason Sony made it so that you have to have one of those things in order for the movie to play. I can't believe they haven't issued a firmware to correct this yet.

I use Panasonic players and you MUST insert an SD memory card or Starship Troopers won't make it past the very first "loading" screen. The good news is that any SD card will work and I think those things start at around 99 cents these days.....

Worked fine sans SD Card on my Panasonic BD-30

That's interesting. It was my BD-30 that had first had the problem. Neither my initial disk from Amazon, or the Sony replacement that fixed the frame issue would play until I inserted an SD card. At the time, I upgraded to the latest firmware and still no go. I never tried it in my BD-35 without an SD card. Maybe later BD30 firmware revs overcame this issue?

homernt · 04-25-2010, 04:51 AM

I got mine yesterday. And didn't run on mine panasonic DB-35 which is a region B player. Reading the posts I now know why but mine Hiteker HTB-1026 which set to region A, doesn't have any memory to write too as far as I know, played it fine. Mine panasonic DB-35 doesn't have the latest firmware but this is an older title so I'm a bit suprised. This the first time mine panasonic DB-35 has a problem playing any disc.
