…Fuck Sony? And a geek deal

Published by junkfx under Movie Talk Edit This

 Ok, I had originally planned a very intensive, anger-filled, livid post about how much I hate Sony products, namely my BDP-S300…. but since I wrote this post (the original one) I worked the problem out by myself.  After half an hour on tech support, trolling support forums and even delving as deep as mI could into the Sony website, my BDP-S300 (Blu Ray Player) would not read some new discs that were bought (ie, Iron Man, Kung Fu Panda, and Transformers) after we updated the firmware to the new 4.30 release.  The original post that has been deleted was a call to arms against Sony…until I figured something out..

Something no site has mentioned that I could find.  Anyone out there have a ripped up PS2 that you use to play back ups of PS2 games?  If you do (or even if you don’t you’re about to find out) then you will know that you can  not simply just pop in a back up and have it play without problems unless you begin the whole ceremony of the swap magic-ness with a disc with a high TOC count (big Table of Contents, best if used with a big game like FFX).

So I thought about this TOC idea.  I put in a standard DVD (Veronica Mars to be exact)….played it a little bit past the menus…popped it out….popped in Blu Kung Fu…it played fine.  Woot for TCO discs.  If you’re having trouble with your Blu PLayer and can’t find out the problem, shoot me a line, I’ve read more in the past 3 days about Blu Ray than I would ahve liked to.

Most of you probably know by now that Amazon.com is having these 24-Hour_only sales.  Yesterday I picked up the complete Stargate Boxset for $99.99.  That is 10 seasons for $100.  I thought it was pretty worth it.

Today is no different: Pick up all 3 seasons of Arrested Development for $29!  Guys, that is $10 a season for one of the best shows on TV.   I’m going to try and keep up on this and post every day with their 24-Hour-Only sales, be sure to check back.
