Sony has been very good with their updates. I'm sure they'll have one soon.

Well, if they get a PS3, at least this winter they'll use less heating. Was at a friends house over the weekend. He had a PS3 and a plasma in his tv room. After about 10 minutes in there I was sweating my tits off. Went to investigate and both the plasma and the PS3 were throwing out some heat that I don't get with any of my gear (even my Directv HD DVR isn't that bad). Not sure if they are all like that, but no way would I even consider adding a PS3 to my setup if it put out that much heat.

Anyway, to the OP. Cheer up and stop worrying. At least you don't have a Samsung. It's like roulette with their updates. Sony will either release one for Iron Man, or you may not even need it.

SO GUESS WHAT EVERYONE IT LOOKS LIKE YOU WONT BE PLAYING IRON MAN ON YOUR BLURAY PLAYER!!!!

This really pisses me off and it better not happen when the Dark Knight comes out.

Thats why people get the PS3 because its future-proof regardless if they're a gamer or not.

Can we not turn this into a "let's rub it in that he doesn't have a ps3" thread?!

OP, deep breath. The title's not even officially released yet. I read in another thread that some reviewers got a replacement copy. It's possible that your will work fine. If not, I have no doubt that Sony will be quick to fix the issue. It's a little early to be jumping the gun on the issue.

[Slec]

The tech's NEVER know when an update will occur (atleast not the ones answering phones). Leaks don't occur at that level, they occur to the press. relax. As was said earlier, the title isn't even out, you don't know what, if any, problems might occur with your player. There is enough going on out there to get your blood pressure up, don't let this get to you.

Agreed.

Does it really matter that his player won't be able to play the latest movies. Does it matter that the PS3 kicks a$$? Yer darn tootin' it doesn't matter! Because even if everybody here mentioned that the PS3 was the way to go, chances are the OP would do the honorable thing, like a samurai, and stay with his losing battle right up to the very end - even though a very simple move would bring his entire conflict to a peaceful end!

I, for one, congratulate and salute you!

Excelsior!

[bluskies]

I don't get it. The OP was in a panic but hasn't said exactly what the problem is? By the way, OP, where did you get this copy of IM?

The PS3 is not future proof..........nothing in the electronics industry is.

I wish I had a Sony BD player, my SHARP has screwed me over, can't even do BD Live.

Then stick it to Sony and watch Iron-Man on your HD-A2.

As long as Sony comes out with a firmware update before the release of Iron Man to fix the problem, I'm happy .

Will average joe who has never done a firmware update in his life be happy?

Where is the quality control that makes sure movies work on all players?!?!

This is stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PCiAM]

This is annoying. I don't mind updating my firmware nor am I worried that Sony won't release a firmware upgrade soon. I'm just annoyed that this is happening regularly now because the average consumer is going to be really off-put with this. It'd be one thing if this was happening to older generation players that weren't on the market anymore, but these first generation players are going to be sold in the stores during the holiday season where they hope Blu Ray picks up steadily and yet if the studios can't get it together to where the movies will play on every player, then it really will hurt mass adoption in the long run.

Agreeeed

[tntkain]

wow, I can't believe someone is freaking out so bad about a movie that is not even released yet. They had the same issues with alot of dvd's over the years and it survived. There were alot of movies that the dvd would skip, or the audio & video would go out of sync after a few minutes. That's why I never liked dvd. However I have had blu-ray for over a year and have never had a problem watching any movies

[hc666]

So basically, the Sony's are around 200 bucks now so ppl will start buying them... they will rent/buy Ironman and it won't work.

Why would the average joe buy a PS3 when he can get the Sony300 for 200 or less.

We are past early adoption... the masses are not going to be impressed.

I am mad and I don't even have a sony player.

Panny30 seems to work ok for everything.
