Thanks for posting this. I didn't even know this was an issue, and sure enough after popping it in it only plays with PiP. I'll be calling tomorrow.

Like you, I also haven't stuck many of my blu-rays into my player yet.

Do I have a bad Blu-Ray copy?

I bought a copy of Beauty and the Beast from Amazon and it seems to have quite a few playback issues in the same spots with all editions of the movie. The picture freezes and the sound stops. After about 10 seconds it resumes playing. Firmware is up to date. Do I have a bad Blu-Ray or should I be doing something else?

My copy worked like a charm. Probably just a defective copy you have.

While patiently waiting for the LOTR extendeds to come out on Blu, I found the Return of the King collector's DVD set unopened for 10 dollars.

But it was the Canadian release. :canada: That is without the four disk set, just the standard DVD.... in full screen. :psyduck:

So while it slashed any hopes I would have had of reselling it for $50 on ebay, I'm glad that I got the Minas Tirith statue out of it, though I'm not really sure why the designed it to open in two pieces.

I watched my Canadian import of Mr. Nobody and can confidently and highly recommend that you buy this title. Audio and video are flawless which is essential for such an intensely sensory film, and there's about an hour's worth of behind-the-scenes supplements in HD. This may never be released in the States, so don't feel ambivalent about importing.

My wife uses hers as a jewelry box. She keeps her replica of Nenya (which she asked for as her engagement ring) in it.

My God, that woman is a geek. Still glad I married her. (I was only buying the 4 disc versions of the extended cuts, she was the one who was buying the 5 disc versions with the statues.)

We can't possibly ever get divorced now - we combined our DVD collections.
:goonsay:

(We're arguing about the extended cut Blus - do we just wait for the Ultimate, Final, Tiger Hyper Dragon edition box set after the Hobbit movies come out, or buy now?)

Is anyone still waiting for their Battle Royale blu-ray? This is getting ridiculous, over at the blu-ray.com forums it seems like most people in the US have already received theirs. I'm trying to decide if I should just ask Amazon for a refund at this point, which will really be a bitter pill since the set is sold out everywhere and the Special Edition coming out in a month or two is region B so if I want the region free version I'm going to have to get it off ebay for 3x the price.

And I preordered it in October. :arghfist::smith:




vvvvv Yeah I meant October but somehow wrote August. Still, its been way too long.

How'd you pre-order it in August if it wasn't announced until October? But yeah, if you contact Amazon they should issue you a full refund.
