Issues playing Batman Begins BD on my Sony BD-S300

I think I'm on the right track with solving my problems, but I wanted other opinions to make sure...

I just bought Batman Begins last night and when I went home to play it, the movie wouldn't play. It would show the Piracy Warning, then the initial WB screen with the surround sound test, then give me the MPAA Rating screen, then a loading screen with a bar moving across the bottom. When this would finish it would give me a second loading screen with a disk spinning in the middle of the screen. When this would finish it would start to play the movie, but 1-2 seconds after it would start to show the camera panning over the WB studio for their logo, the player itself would restart (power off and back on) and begin the whole process again.

Now I'm pretty sure that updating my Firmware will solve this (I have yet to update it at all since purchase) but I'd like to know what everyone thinks.

Any help is much appreciated.
