Trouble with Iron man and now Sleeping Beauty

[jedi-bob]

Hi Folks, this is my first post here and I have a problem.

I have a Sony BDS300 and I have NEVER performed a firmware upgrade.
I believe mine is still version 2.0.

When I played Iron Man for the first time, it took a long time to load and I could not access the film by hitting the PLAY button. I would hit it, it would hi-light and nothing. I would have to go to "chapter menu", choose the opening and then, it would play with no problems at all.

Now, tonight... I put in Sleeping Beauty and saw all the previews (they looked fantastic ) but when I got to the menu screen and hit play... the screen went black and after about 5 min, the spinning wheel came on.... and then black and after 15 minutes, I gave up. I then tried the chapter access like I did with Iron Man, same thing...black screen and "nada."

I ordered the firmware disc from Sony after trying to make my own and the player saying that it couldn't read the disc.

Anyone experience this or have any advice?

Thanks,
Bob
