I've googled this issue and people are saying you need to have a blank SD card in the player or a flash drive? I have a Panasonic BDMP60( I think that's the model but I'm at work so I don't know for sure right now) player. Do I need to have my player connected to the internet too for this f'n disc to play too or just the blank SD card or flash drive? I have two SD cards, one from my Wii and another that I use for the Blu Ray player but do they(or the FD) need to be blank for this?
Please stand by for rant.
To get back on Topic
My Phillips DVD player would not play certain movies, needed a firmware upgrade many years ago. A 3rd generation DVD player, state of the art at the time and should have been able to play all DVDs. It had to be done by shipping to the factory and getting it back a month later. This was when the feature packed players were going for over three hundred bucks, what one pays to get that Jog Shuttle Dial. To give an idea of the vintage, it will not play DVDRs. But hey, I still love playing with the Jog Shuttle, even if its not as silk smooth scan as Laser Players and not Anamorphic stretch capable.
Current Blue Ray players Firmware Double Edged Sword
Now a player can be easily Firmware updated online right on the shelf as in current game consoles. But as new movie releases come out:
1. Perhaps another future updated firmware might be required?
2. What if your player is no longer supported?
3. A permanent lockup during a required firmware upgrade occurs on movie night.
4. Will online authentication be eventually required for new movies?
Gee where has that happened already? I'm starting to see Yellow and Red and UBI all over again!
@
Evildeadman, give that blank memory card and online connection a try.
Okay sorry, had to throw this in. Back to the crappy movie.
Sorry, I love this movie. I have never read the book so I have no basis for comparison but I would like to read it. Once the semester is over next month then I'm going to check it out. The book is always better pretty much all the time so I'm not surprised.
