Still have troubles playing Hitman and I Robot!!! - Blu-ray Forum

ADAMMB · 03-22-2008, 02:29 PM

I posted yesterday that I have Hitman and I Robot and couldnt play them at all. Someone thought that a new update came out for the Samsung BD-P1400 but I already have the update of 2-28 and it said I have the current update when I try to update. When I try Hitman it pulls up the players main menu and I've tried everything but it wont play and with I Robot it wont load. The screen just stays black.

Please dont suggest buying a PS3 as I have it set up to work everything through my Control4 system and it is currently very difficult to use a PS3 with the Control4 remote. Also on top of that I do not want to support the Playstation as I think its a crap video game platform. No offense to others that love PS3s. To each their own.

Is anyone having these issues and can help with suggestions. Sometimes when I have troubles with discs I can eject it several times and/or shut the player off a few times and it will finally load but I cant get that to work. Maybe I should buy a PS3 and return it in a week or two so I can watch the movies I bought.

Looks like you'll have to wait for an update to fix the movie issues. Seems to be an ongoing problem with some Fox releases. As for the ps3 it is much more than a gaming platform. The bluray load times are very fast and I havent heard of or had any playback issues. What game platform do you prefer? Have you even used the ps3? It is a magnificent piece of equipment.

Watched I, Robot last night on the PannyBD30/... no issues!

Ps3 No Issues Here :d

Seems to me you choose to have a player doesn't work over one that does.

You should vent your frustrations and questions to Samsung. Meanwhile, all us PS3 owners are enjoying trouble free Blu-ray viewing.

Enjoy!

You definately need to call Samsung. Either you have a defective deck, or it's the typical problems with Samsung

I really feel as if the PS3 is not a bluray player. It does play blurays but I definitely dont want to have to boot up a gaming console to play blurays and for those that do they are not people that enjoy home theaters. They enjoy playing Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid and on a side note they watch 1080p movies on their PS3 on a 50" plasma typically. I am a Xbox360 fan and think at this point the PS3 cant hold a candle to the features on the 360. Maybe in the future it may get to that point but its not even close right now.

However it would seem as if Samsung does not care about their customers in this manner and it would seem as if its not going to get better. Is there a better bluray player that is NOT the PS3 that maybe I should look at. It's ridiculous that the bluray camp expects their customers to buy a PS3 in order not to have any problems.

I went through 4 copies of HP and the Goblet of Fire and couldn't get even 1 of them to complete the movie. I would get an hour twenty into the movie and it would freeze. I have a PS3 60GB. It is, however, the only playback issue I've had.

I have a Pioneer BDP-430 3D compatible Blu-ray player with the latest software update. Every time I attempt to play I, Robot on the player, the movie shuts down as soon as the 20th Century Fox intro starts playing. All other Blu-Ray movies I have play fine. Anyone else having this issue with the Pioneer player?

Have you had any movies you've successfully watched on your Samsung? It sounds like you have a deficient player. There are many manufacturers of Blu-ray players other than Samsung. Maybe you should try to get a refund and go with one of the other manufacturers that exist in growing numbers.

PS3 is NOT a crap game platform. Now a system that has a 30% failure rate, THAT is a crap platform.
