Not a happy camper - Blu-ray Forum

OK, when you spend a $1000 for something, it should work perfectly, even a piece of electronics. I recently bought Pirates of the Carribean and Hellboy. Put each of them in my player and got a message saying "This operation is prohibited by this disc". I called Sony and they told me that I need the 2.0 firmware update. Great...but its not available yet. It may be up to a month before I receive it. I never had this kind of problem with my HD DVD player (yes, I own both, for movie selection purposes).

Anyone else having this issue???

There's a thread or two talking about this problem. Both Pirates of the Carribeans and Hellboy play find on my PS3.

You don't mention it but I assume you bought the Sony BD-PS1 player. If so, then there is a version 2.0 firmware update available that will enable your player to play POTC (with BD-J encoding). Go to the Sony web site and download the firmware to a cd. You will be fine.

No problem here on my Panasonic DMP-BD10. I've played them with Firmware 2.0 and 2.1 on the Panny with no issues whatsoever. I just went to Firmware 2.2, but haven't tried any discs yet. Which Sony do you have?

Yep, no problems on either my Panny or Samsung BDP-1000

Move along, theres nothing to see here.

Dude, update your firmware...it's been available on Sony's site for weeks.
You will get DD+ & TrueHD decoding as an added bonus to being able to play those discs you just bought (which BTW are fabulous demo material!)

have a great day~!
