DarqueDragon Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) I bought a brand new sealed copy of a movie from a couple years ago, put it into my PS3, and left the room. When I returned about 10 - 15 minutes later, it was still on the loading screen. I know some movies can take awhile, but never this long. Other movies work just fine, but certain ones seem to take forever to load. Any ideas? Has this happened to anyone else, and how can I fix it?

DarqueDragon Posted December 25, 2011 Author Share Posted December 25, 2011 Might need an update since movie is couple years old. All blu tay players need firmware updates every now and then It's not a blu-ray player. It's my PS3. It is updated to the current software. Does the blu-ray part get updated separately, cuz I have never heard of that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowrider50 Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Is your tv connected via hdmi? I heard sony did something to stop av cables on bluray movies or something like that. I would give the disc a clean with a microfibre cloth see if that assists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarqueDragon Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 I have discovered the problem. A friend pointed me to an official playstation answer. Turns out that there are times when the BD Live server for the studio that released that game is overloaded. If you go into settings, you will see an option for allowing blu-ray discs access to the internet, where you can select enable or confirm. If you switch it to confirm, it will ask when you start the disc if you want to let it connect. Select no, and it will load right up. This worked, and then I just changed it back to enable afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanted to connect to the internet to watch, you clearly would have gone with Netflix or a similar service. Sometimes all these technological advances are fucking stupid and get in the way of our entertainment rather than making it easier to get to. Anyway, enough ranting glad to hear you solved the problem and to get this information to keep in mind in case any of my movies get stuck (so dumb).

Watching the movie itself doesn't require the internet, but sometimes, certain special features do. These are usually things like updated commentaries or special access to sequel or related movie trailers, and things like that. It is a service called BD Live, which allows studios to update information and features on a movie using the internet. Have you not heard of this?

Have you not heard of this? yeah some blu-rays come with PS3 themes, which requires you to connect online to get the theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably like an update, I can see your point though, Forcing to download the update EVERYTIME instead of a convenient option of no or yes per dvd is overly stupid.
