Of course it has a menu and of course you can change the sound and chapters. Learn your blu-ray player a bit better

Just because the movie starts right away does not mean that there is no menu..

Also search the forum for threads before posting. Here is a thread about the exact same thing posted over a week ago:

They're for interactive content, like a trivia game.

Yeah...something just doesn't sound right...maybe you got a bad copy lol
I'm definitely looking forward to watching "300" on Blu-Ray

TBoneCapone · 07-25-2007, 07:09 PM

I wish there would be a a policy that if some stores release it....then all can at that point. Maybe also a fine for the store in question.

helli3yte · 07-25-2007, 07:45 PM

i remember reading another post . there is a member on this board that lives in switzerland and gets all the movies a week earlier for some reason so i dont doubt his statement even though he has 1 post.

matthewrounds · 07-25-2007, 07:49 PM

Also the OP states that he received the movie, probably indicating it was shipped to him.

If it is available today I may rush to the store.

Received my copy yesterday, which was sent on the 18th from the US. I know a few other companies were shipping it a few days earlier than that.

To answer the original question, press the menu button on your remote and you'll see the audio options (PCM and TrueHD

), subtitles and special features.

The special features menu also pops up after the movie has finished.

It is not hidden menus. It is just a ease-of-use thing that the movie starts right when you pop it in. Now with BD you can change your settings while watching the intro..
