Anyone having trouble playing the Bond DVD's? - Blu-ray Forum

lobo81865 · 10-24-2008, 01:56 PM

I didn't see a thread on this, but was wondering if any of you have had trouble playing the bond movies. I read many user reviews on Amazon saying that the discs wouldn't play on several players includiing some from Panasonic. I have a BD30, and would like to get them eventually if they will play in my machine.

I've never had a problem playing any movies on the BD30 thus far.

Yes i did with my PS3's but all i had to do was update to the latest firmware 2.50. Im sure someone here will give you link for your player.

So you 'have' , or 'had' a Panny BD30? If you do still have the BD30 it should be ok...I watched with love from Russia with no probs...? Who knows what firmware those people are on & what not, you know what I mean

Thanks for the info. From the reviews I read, the PS3's were the main players listed that would play the discs.

Yes I still have the BD30. It's good to know they worked for you.

I have the Sony BDP-S300 and had some issues with "From Russia With Love". First time through the disk worked fine, took about the normal loading time. Went to watch the special features and that is when I ran into some problems. The disk seems to get kind of stuck loading and then when you finally get to the main menu and hit play it will get stuck, black screen. I was able to eject the disk, power down the player, unplug the player, let it sit for a minute or two, then load the disk up and everything worked fine. At least for the S300 you can get the disk to work but have to jump through some hoops in order to do so.

In my opinion this falls squarely on the shoulders of Fox, do not give me any excuses just make sure the product works, period!

I have a Samsung 1400 and all the movies work except For Your Eyes Only.

Yeah the Sony BDP-S300 was one of the machines people were complaining about that wouldn't play the discs.

From what I recall reading in the thread at AVS, Panasonics (especially the BD30) are not having any problems with these discs. You should be OK.
