Not 100% software related, (wrong forum perhaps), But i need to know wtf is going on with the xmen first class bluray. My wife went out and bought me a copy at Walmart while i was at work, Got home popped it in....black screen, bluray player whirring and clicking away. "ffs" got some message about updating firmware, Fine...did that, Tried again...black screen. At this point i was going to return it for a replacement. Googled the problem, Found some obscure forum thread where other people were having similar problems like "The audio is fine, But picture freezes every few seconds" etc. The solution? delete the bluray folder, Disable wireless access for the player.
So i went back, Tried all this and finally had to sit through 2 minutes of black screen, The firmware warning again, the FOX logo...twice for some reason (good thing too i almost forgot which studio it was because the black screen in between the two logos was so long) then a logo from some other studio "bad hat harry" or something, then FINALLY! the menu. Holy shit! that is a lot of effort to watch this legit, paid for bluray. Wasted about an hour doing all of this. Boy these days if you want to watch a movie, You have to really, really, really want to see that shit!
Anyway, From what i've been reading, This is some new damn copy protection, Or codec change. If you buy a copy be sure to have something else to do while you wait for the menu, Like build a new deck, Take diving lessons, Make a canoe out of an old log with a pocket knife...dunno just suggestions.
