Pinball game on the Blu-ray Disc Surf’s Up requires firmware 2.6 on BDP-S300 player

[Tekman]

Dear BDP-S300 owner,

We hope that you have been enjoying all the great high-definition Blu-ray Disc™ titles currently available, as well as the great picture quality your new Blu-ray Disc player provides for DVD playback.

A firmware update (Version 2.60) is now available for your player. The firmware update will enhance BD-Java compatibility with some BD-ROMs. In particular, it will improve a firmware compatibility issue which can cause some intermittent screen flashing with the interactive pinball game on the Blu-ray Disc version of "Surf’s Up", scheduled for release on October 9, 2007. We strongly recommend you update your player with this firmware update before playing this game.

If you wish to download the firmware update yourself, you may do so through the link below. Please make sure that your PC is equipped with a DVD burner and that you have a compatible (blank) DVD DVD-R/RW disc close at hand (other types of recordable DVDs may work, but -R/RW is recommended).

Otherwise you can request that a firmware update disc and instructions be mailed to you. After following the link below, click on “here to order the firmware update…” in the Important Notes section. You’ll be taken to our Service Request form to enter your name and address. The update disc will be mailed within 10 business days.

If you have any questions please contact Sony at 1-866-909-7669 for more information or visit the Sony support website below.

Sincerely,

The Sony Blu-ray Disc Team
