In Reply to: DVD HD DVD & Blu Ray are a failure posted by usafwso on August 26, 2007 at 01:16:42:
My friend had only experienced what you described one time so far on the PS3. Yes, it is a PITA when it occurs but now he is basically cleaning each and every disc before he starts playback since he is primarily only doing rentals. No problem since even with the one disc that failed.
I'm not going to say people aren't going to have a problem with software from time to time and I understand your point because his player did not recover and just froze also. However, not all SD DVD players always resolve a problem with software either and lockup occurs also. Same with CD players on occasion.
If it is continually happening though, dump the player, not the format! :)
