PS3 help - Blu-ray Forum

CuppyCake · 12-03-2008, 04:38 PM

This was probably already answered but Im new here so if I need linked to another thread thats fine, anywho

In November I purchased a PS3 for my BF,

last night we purchased Wanted and Step Brothers on blu-ray thinking we could watch them on the PS3, we popped one in..and absolutely nothing happened. Didnt auto-start...and the icon for the movie did not show up on any of the menus....

I know some movies wont play on the PS3, are these 2 one of them?? Is there something else that needs done that we are missing?

We did run an update but that didnt help either

HALP

Well actually, every BD movie is able to play on the PS3. Have you watched any other BDs lately?

No, these are the first two we've tried.

We checked the settings, it was set to autostart and then we switched auto-start to off thinking that might help..and it didnt.

Im just not sure why it's doing this

Is that in the 'video settings' menu?

Possible problem with the blu-ray drive. Is it playing games and regular dvd's ok? If not, almost definitely a drive problem. Even if it does play other discs fine though, it could still be a drive problem. Call Sony if turning off BD Live doesn't solve it.

Shin-Ra · 12-03-2008, 04:51 PM

You're not getting this icon under Video (which may turn into a rectangular graphic unique to the movie after a couple of seconds, depending on the movie)

Also the disc is clean and label side up (label towards PLAYSTATION 3 logo)

bageleaterkkjji · 12-03-2008, 04:53 PM

if that doesnt work maybe the update killed your ps3

Shin-Ra · 12-03-2008, 04:57 PM

They tried playing the discs before updating.

CuppyCake · 12-03-2008, 05:08 PM

All other games play wonderfully, thats why I was wondering what the problem was.

And as far as the icon, thats the one I was looking for and that didn tshow up either

not sure
Im at work right now and I figured Id do a little research while I had some downtime

prankster · 12-03-2008, 05:18 PM

hmm...well, make sure you're looking for the blu-ray disc icon under the 'video' column on the xmb.

oh i missed the part where you weren't even getting the icon to show up. lets just hope you aren't looking in the right spot

but it doesn't make sense itll play games and not movies tho..hmm

Shin-Ra · 12-03-2008, 05:22 PM

Some movies have a custom graphic so you may not be looking for the blue disc icon.

CuppyCake · 12-03-2008, 05:24 PM

I looked for any kind of icon and I saw nothing which is weird. It did this even when the Auto-Start setting was on.

I tried watching the movies at about 10:30 last night so I kinda gave up pretty easily. Hopefully after work tonight Ill have some time to sit down and really look at everything and make sure all settings are to where they need to be, and make sure the BDlive is off
