The Spirit not working in PS3 - Blu-ray Forum

Icon will show up after disabling bd live, but it says "this video cannot be played" when you select it. All other blurays I have tried work fine. One more thing, I dont have it hooked up to internet.

Hook up the PS3 to the internet, and then put the movie in. It may just need that quick update to run.

Actually, my friend got a copy from netflix and it worked fine in his player....after seeing the movie, we REALLY wished it didn't but it did. Ugh!!!

I'm having the same problem...my PS3 doesn't acknowledge the disc at all after I load it. It doesn't appear in the Video bar. It's like the disc is invisible to my PS3. Every other BD-Live enabled disc has worked just fine.

It worked fine for me but it took around 4 or 5 minutes for the "checking for updates" message to go away. I initially thought it might be locked up or something but it eventually got past that.

I've also got a PS3. I rented the disc from Blockbuster and had no trouble. I even chose NOT to update, since it was a disc I wasn't planning to keep. For me, it went straight to a small loading icon (shaped like a woman's body) right after I chose not to update and then launched into trailers (which I promptly skipped.)

However, this movie was pretty bad - which I was originally hoping wouldn't be the case. I even got that it was trying to be intentionally humorous, but the jokes fell really flat. I remained nearly bored into a coma from start to finish.

the rented Blu-rays may not have the BD-live support, so they won't need to connect to get the update
