Avatar Blu Ray disc unplayable!

Hi Guys,

i received my long awaited copy of Avatar on Blu-ray from play.com.

inserted the disc and was told i needed a firmware update from samsung.

i've checked my update status and its telling me i have the upto date firmware.

does anybody else have this problem or have anyone have any idea how to remedy the problem?

I have the samsung bd3600 and the blueray copy of avatar works fine on it. It even worked fine with the outdated firmware before I updated it today.

When many Blu-Ray players were coming out, the common issue seemed to be the ability to update the firmware - some players could not be updated, yet, at the time, the PlayStation 3 was "future proof" in being able to always keep updated firmware.

Your particular model and brand of player "needs an update" but if it's up-to-date from the manufacturer you have 2 options - wait an unknown amount of time for an update from them, or replace your player.

thsi was teh biggest problem with blur ray first gen VS hd dvd first gen. it was NOT standard to have an ethernet port on a blu ray player......but it was mandatory on HD DVD's....
