Was the freeze fairly early in the film...like around 25-30 minutes? I had the exact same problem on The Prestige. I was able to get past it without the disc completely stopping..it did freeze for about 20 seconds. I thought it was my copy but maybe they're all mastered wrong.

P.S. This was on a PS3.

In my case the freeze happened 3/4 the way through the movie (which was Crank).

The freeze happened about an hour into the movie. I actually checked and my Sony player is version 1.06 so I called sony and they are sending me the update dvd hopefully that stops it from happening.

Thanks for the help!

I watched The Prestige two nights ago on my PS3. It FROZE 4-5 times during the movie for at least 20-30 seconds each time. What gives? It's the only one that has done that.

I watch a lot of blu-ray movies and this has happened to me occasionally in the past. On another forum where this topic came up someone suggested going in on the main PS3 menu and turn the online/internet option to "disable" (you have two choices there, "disable" or "enable"). When you next need to go online with the PS3 for any reason, just go back there and quickly select "enable". Since I started doing that I've never again had what you are calling the freeze problem. The other forum called it a pause problem because if you did nothing it started on its own shortly (10 - 20 seconds).
