In the past 3 weeks, I bought two blu ray players- Phillips BDP7200 & Samsung BDP1500. I am returning both because they don't work with java application titles like Iron Man, Hulk or Transformers. I don't care about the BD live, but everytime I stop or shut off the machine, it starts the movie over I contacted both manufacturers and they told me they were working on the problems, but I can't wait.

Does anyone know of a blu ray player that has memory for all the new bd live titles coming out.

Have you tried updating the firmware on the samsung player? I have Transformers and Ironman on bluray, and both play on my BP-1000 after loading the latest firmware. I am still having problems getting the Hulk to load.

Do these title not play at all or do you not like the fact that BD-J titles start at the beginning once you stop or turn off the player? If it's the latter, all players do this for BD-J titles.

THERE IS NO BLU RAY PLAYER ON EARTH THAT WILL DO WHAT YOU WANT IT TO ... Now that I got your attention, Java titles WILL NOT resume where you left off when you hit stop or turn off the machine. That is a limitation of the software at the moment. No matter what player you get, even the amazing PS3 will NOT be able to resume where you left off on BD-J titles.

Somebody must not like the idea of joining a not-so-secret-society of overly happy BD owners. It seems that the PS3 is still partially the best kept secret when it comes to BD playback...

So long as you are running audio via HDMI, don't mind only seeing a "Multichannel" signal on your receiver, and don't mind another remote since the PS3 can't be programmed into a universal remote (the PS3 controller is so simple to use)......... YES... the PS3 has yet to experience any permanent issues with any titles. Any problems get resolved within a matter of days through directly downloadable firmware updates (no need to create discs). Also, the PS3 loads everything in a matter of seconds compared to standalone units.

i turned on my BD-1500 just now, and it started exactly where it left off. (300)

its probably not the only answer...but it is a very reliable answer. The PS3 will play any and all titles.

[crackinhedz]

Fast load times, no freezing...

All I know is that my Samsung 1400 is not playing half of the new titles I am buying. Thankfully, I own a PS3.

I can play any BD Live disc I want. Its the stop, shut off& start over on the bd live titles that are my problem. I don't have the time or patience to sit thru a whole movie, so this is a major issue for me. I have all the firmware updates I need, thats not the problem. Someone in Target today told me that the Sony350 works with these new titles, I don't believe him, can anyone confirm that? Maybe the new Sony 550, I don't know. I will keep returning them until I find one that works. Tx for any info.

NO Blu-Ray player can do what you are asking. No player has resume capabilities on java enabled titles.

BAD FONT COLOUR CHOICE!!!

Also, try using the Java programming BOOKMARK feature. Every Java title has one. You can save the point in the film that you are stopping it at via this method. Either sh!t or get off the damn pot. Don't linger and complain about a cold toilet seat which is serving its purpose!!!
