Batman WON'T Begin! with BDP-S300 <- update to latest firmware - Blu-ray Forum

Bhellerjax · 07-08-2008, 06:29 PM

My Batman Begins blu-ray won't play on my Sony BDP S300. I already exchanged the disc - it loads for a few minutes, then shuts off the player, then starts it up again. I'm running the 3.70 update, so I just ordered the 3.95 update disc through Sony, but I heard this update was for computers with blu-ray players. (I also couldn't play "Relentless Enemies or "Oceans 13"). Any advice out there?

You can't just download the update and burn it yourself?

It's probably choking on the 1.1 features, the firmware should fix that

Download the update from Sony here:

the way to take of your problem is, throw your BD player away and buy a PS3

kaliraver · 07-08-2008, 06:44 PM

I have to agree update your player to the latest firmware and it should fix your issue.

Unreal how in the heck is an average consumer going to keep up
with all these firmware updates, they are a pain and could trash your player.

Look at all those warnings,on the sony firmware page, scary

Wow does that say 51.88 megs, is that an OS or a firmware update.

Agreed!

Brad1963 · 07-08-2008, 07:04 PM

The 3.9 update will work. This happened to me and others with V FOR VENDETTA and the upgrade fixed the problem.

I'm in no way a "PS3 Fanboy" but comments like this really tarnish the reputation of this site.

I will say that the firmware/update situation is the reason I'm sticking with my
ps3 as my primary blu ray player and not buying a stand alone player...

tiger roach · 07-08-2008, 07:27 PM

Well... clever thread title anyway...

Hope the firmware update sorts it out amigo.

Exact same thing is happening to me, and it also happened with V for Vendetta. They both work fine on my PS3 up stairs, but I want it to work on my S300, because it's on a bigger TV with a sound system and everything. Sent an email to Sony, hopefully they can help. Can't download the firmware simply because I have a Mac and I guess Sony doesn't like Apples.

jimmymiro12 · 07-08-2008, 09:07 PM

i have the bdp s300 too but mine is working (I did buy it used from someone on craigslist so I dont know what the last update was) So I guess thats all it is.
