Starship Troopers Blu Ray won't play in my player

Post by Evildeadmanwalking77 »

I tried to finally watch Starship Troopers on Blu Ray that I received for my birthday this past February and the damn thing goes through a loading status and then nothing. 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?
I am addicted to video games, especially retro gaming from my era. I have: NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Gameboy, GBA, Wii, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, Xbox, and Xbox 360. I have probably over 1,000 games in total for all these systems combined. Yes, I need help and I wouldn't have it any other way! This is my passion and hey my wife still loves me!!

I don't know anything about BR. I've heard some players require firmware updates to watch certain movies? Is Starship Troopers good though? (I trust yr opinion)

Yeah, that was the first thing I checked man and it already has all the latest available firmware updates.

Great movie! It's just one of those fun movies that I love! "THE ONLY GOOD BUG, IS A DEAD BUG!!" :lol: Plenty of gory action going on as well! :wink:

Are you trolling?

Paul Verhoeven also directed Total Recall, Black Book, and Robocop.

On the other end, he also directed Basic Instinct and Showgirls.

The movie's great. It's just pretty much the exact opposite of the book.

The book is better, but I have to believe that a faithful film adaptation wouldn't be that great.
