Its very slow to load, but then it plays brilliantly.

I prefer it to the 3D version at cinema.

Also waiting to hear back - Avatar arrived this morning; I have the 320 which shares the same firmware - already updated to the latest firmware so fingers crossed that does do the job. (From what I've read elsewhere the update a week or so ago was for Avatar, but I may be mis-informed).

My player is Panasonic BD80.

Panasonic have been making a big splash about authoring this disc, It took about 4 mins to load on their own machine, so I think they ought to keep their heads down.

put it in and pressed play.

no issues or problems.

just updated the software on my pioneer bdp320 takes about 10-15 min to download then another 5 min or so to install on your player once its all done your player switches off when this happens switch it on again and should work perfectly this is what i did and had no problems at all

10-15 mins as my internet connection is quite slow my friend has super fast broadband and he done in in about 1 min

I had a different problem.... It was just a very very naff film and I wasted good money at the cinema and a few hours of my life that I cannot get back. It was all glitter and no guts. Usually American dumbing of a passable concept
I should have known better.

I also have Panasonic BD80 but mine certainly didn't take 4 mins to load (firmware v2.3)

 

[PJPro]

No problems here (Sony BDP-S360)

So even you couldn't resist buying the blu-ray disc!

I'm watching mine right now on my Panasonic BD60. No problems. Took a bit of time to load (about 2-3 mins). Absolutely glorious picture & sound quality!!

 

[Andy Clough]

Took a good 3-4 minutes to load on my Yamaha BD-S2900, but fine after that.

 

[Anonymous]

Takes 2-3 minutes on a Panasonic BD35 as well.

 

[f1only]

Takes just over a minute on my Pio BDP-320 gonna try my Sony 363 & ps3 see if they have any issues.

 

[gar1975]

said it on another thread on here... i had to do an update on my lx-71 before avatar would play, played fine afterwards 🙂

 

[Andrew Everard]

Bought a copy - for the review team - but haven't watched it. No wish to.
