Anyone have any trouble with the BBC Edition of Planet Earth and their PS3's? My PS3 almost looks like it goes into a slow-down mode at random times (does seem to be when panning out or in on images from the sky down) and its almost like its trying to buffer it. Happens randomly and if I rewind and watch the same part that it did it on, it won't do it again.

i've never had an issue with my BBC edition

So...I borrowed Pineapple Express blu from my friend, and it simply will not load on my PS3. I have no problems with any other film at all, and it plays perfectly fine in my parent's Panny...but my PS3 chokes on it. ANyone else ever have that happen?

Strange you mention that... I actually bought it used from a local dealer who warned me of the same thing. It works fine on my PS3 slim.

Just got through watching The Corpse Bride. There's a glitch in chapter 11, wherein Emily's eye pops out and Victor picks it up and gives it to her. Right after he compliments it the movie jumps a few seconds on Emily's line. I rewound it and had the exact same error. Kind of ironic since it came with one of those 'Highest quality guarantee' papers inside.

Playing on a PS3 slim.

Totally agree with this. What the hell is up with the limited time digital download?!

I've now had this problem on two copies.

Ichi the Killer blu-ray has audio that's about 1-2 seconds out of sync with the video. Incredibly distracting. I returned one copy to Amazon and my second does the same thing. Anyone else having this issue?

Playing in an non-BC 80GB PS3. I've emailed Media-Blasters yesterday, but have not received a response yet.

You may want to add A Nightmare on Elm Street to this list. Various reports on forums regarding audio-sync issues in many sections of the movie. These sync issues range from barely noticeable to a lag that last seconds.

^^^ yikes!!

I have a copy of the Fifth Element. How do I determine if I have an inferior version?

Also, anyone have any issues with Wall*E? I want to get that, however, reviews on Amazon regarding Disney movies are not favorable. In particular, Wall*E.

I've got a ton of Disney movies that I've bought for my daughter's collection. I don't have Wall-E, but all the other Disney titles are very solid. 15 Disney Blu's here, and not one problem yet.

picked up Harold and Kumar 2 but didn't open it yet, anyone know if they fixed the audio pops?

has anyone had any problems playing Basic Instinct on his/her ps3? i got a used copy from the hollywood 25% stuff a few weeks ago. i got a replacement from them, but both copies don't play. the lion's gate logo comes up, stutters, then fully locks up.

Event Horizon $10 at Best Buy. Still issues or no?

Saving Private Ryan Blu-Ray Audio Sync Issue (all current discs)

http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=4606

When Saving Private Ryan came out on Blu-ray, some enthusiasts claimed that they noticed an audio issue with the movie and that, starting at chapter 15, the sound went out of sync with the picture. Now Paramount Home Entertainment has unofficially confirmed to The Digital Bits that "there IS a sound sync issue on current copies." The studio is reportedly working on fixed discs for retail, and is expected to announce a replacement plan soon.

If there's a misstep in the track, there appears to be a slight lip synch issue before the battle of Ramelle, found around the 2:06 mark in the film as a character shares a story about one of his brothers' girlfriends and their encounter in a barn. The effect was blatantly obvious when viewing the film with a combination of a Panasonic DMP-BDT300 Blu-ray player and Denon AVR-3808 audio receiver connected via HDMI (with the audio stream sent through a separate HDMI cable from the video stream), but seemed to be less of an issue when the Denon was paired with a PlayStation 3, also connected via HDMI.

Amazon marked their copies as not available for sale, probably for the issue above.

There's a notification you can set up for when they're available for sale again.

The Sapphire Series has been such a huge disappointment. Gees.

I still have my defective Iron Man Blu-ray from last year...I really should buy the fixed problem since Paramount never sent me a fixed review copy. It's rare...never disc color art. Who wants to buy it

I'm not bitching about Amazon pulling their copies, I'm just pointing it out for those that wanted to buy it, like myself.

If Amazon thinks it's an issue and has pulled their copies for sale, I can certainly wait it out until they make it available again.

I was being serious. Between this, Gladiator and wasting the label on rereleases, Paramount has given it a bad rap.

ok...since the replacement discs are suppose to be out by now how is this going to work returning/exchanging at best buy?

CS clerks are mostly clueless about product recalls. I have not opened SPR yet and was hoping that I could walk in, get the new disc and go to the CS area and do an exchange but when they ring it up it will be under a different sku. Knowing the managers they will tell me to send it back to the manufacture even though I could return it to the B&M store.
