Anyone ever find a BluRay disc that would not play in their BluRay player?

I have a Sony BDP-S560 which does not want to play Starship Troopers. To be fair to Sony, there was a note in the manual about how BluRay was an emerging technology so there might be some discs that would not play.

Is this something a software update would fix?

Thanks.

Update your firmware.  I had to update mine before I could watch Boondock Saints II and then again when I bought MLB '10.

Yup, try updating the firmware.

I believe there's an issue with some of the BR Starship Troopers discs, I have the same problem with my Panasonic player.  





I noticed WalMart pulled them all off the selves.  Must be a bad run.  ETA - Sony screwed the pooch, BR version of ST needs player to have a blank memory card installed.





Did yours seem to start to load up them just stop?

Yup, that is exactly what happens.

However, this one is a used disc that I bought from a BlockBuster that is going out of business so I figure the disc is not likely the problem.

EDIT-

I spoke too soon. I updated the firmware and the disc still does not play. Perhaps it is a bad disc. I thought since it was once a rental someone would have complained and BlockBuster would have pulled it from circulation.

Does any one have a BluRay player that will play Starship Troopers? If so what is the make and model? Thanks.

Found the fix for Panasonic players, might be something similar with Sony.

Thanks for the tip.

Unfortunately, it did not work with my 1gb usb drive which is partially full. I am going to get a 4gb like every body in the link and try again.

UPDATE-

I picked up a new flash drive to leave attached to the player. I also figured out the BDP-S560 has two USB ports and I was plugging into the wrong one.

Now SST plays just fine. Thanks for the help
