My copy of Live Free.. plays fine on my BDP-S300 every time. Perhaps your disc is bad.

I had trouble with POTC: At Worlds End with my Sony-300. It played but jumped or shuttered slightly every few minutes. I just got the player a month ago and watched 7 Blue ray movies. This was the first one that didn't play well.

Hi everyone,

I really appreciate the input guys. I think I'm going to call the Best Buy customer service number and see if they can help me out at all. I spent $35 on the movie and there's no reason it shouldn't work.

I know where you're coming from. My Live Free disc just sits there and it keeps saying "loading." I'm just going to put it in the player tonight and see if it eventually comes on.

I guess every player is different because it took the normal 30 seconds or whatever for my No Country for Old Men to load up, yet you had problems with it.

Yeah, the Sony 300 is a little slow loading and lacks features. But I don't feel it's inadequate or 2nd. rate. The first movie I rented, Apocalypto, I compared with, by going to my friends who has a PS 3 and a 46 in. Sony Bravia, I have an 46 in. Sony XBR. My player picture and sound quality did not take a back seat in any way to his. Also I bought my Sony 300 as a refurbished model directly from Sony for only $ 249. All in all I'm happy with that. Now if only if the Cable co. could do something with the signal on my High Def channels...

Mine played fine three times.

I had one freeze up about 2/3s of the way through but pulled the plug, reloaded and it was fine.
