The Guardian...Problem? - Blu-ray Forum

I purchased this yesterday and when I put it in my Sony BDP-SI Player it gave me two options: Enhanced Version or Standard Version. Of course I attempted to play the enhanced version but it really did not work. It had to play the movie with subtitles and when you tried to access the Pop-Up menu it would not let me access anything. Besides the fact it could not possible run any slower. BTW, My sony player has been updated.
Anybody purchase this and watch it yet. I ended up watching the standard version and the movie was much beter than I anticipated.

I have a PS3 and I selected "Enhanced". It played flawlessly. However, I really do not know what the "Enhanced" version includes. WTF is the difference?!?

There are some BD movies that the Sony will not play (as well as Sammy), but yet the PS3 plays them all. I watched it on my PS3 in enhanced mode and all was fine.

What is "enhanced" mode?

C6 Z06 · 01-24-2007, 01:15 PM

Enhanced mode just means you can use other features during movie play back like the filmmaker Q&A. No other reason to use it. The PQ and sound will be the same in both modes.

The High Def Digest review didn't mention it. Weird.

Has anybody with a updated Sony BDP-SI been able to watch the Enhanced version of this problem free?

I am new to BD, but from this movie I noticed that the enhance allowed you to view the special features, sort of like on dvd's. you have the featurettes, deleted scenes, commentary, alt ending,,,, the basic "special features" package. watching it in the standard mode you dont get the extra menu for this.
