    I'm having problems on my 570 with the same disc.

     

    Either I get the same as you - menu, then appears to switch itself off and back on.

     

    Or - the previews start to play - the video runs ok for a couple of seconds, then freezes (whilst the sound continues ok) then appears to fast forward to 'catch up' with the sound.  Then it plays ok again for a few seconds, then freezes again, then fast forwards etc etc.

     

    The film can then be played - with the same play, freeze, fast forward which lasts for the whole film apparently.

     

    I will take it back to Blockbuster tomorrow and won't get another copy.

    I have the exact same problem.I bought Fright Night 2011 last Fri and the Sony S480 player is only about 2 weeks old.I tried to play it but can not play this format came up and then it switched itself off when it could not load.Its not the disc as I played the disc in the exact same model of Bluray player in the shop I bought Fright Night in and it loaded it straight away.Other Bluray discs play fine in my player its just this one that wont.Myself and my b.f have both called Sony a couple of times but they have been no help whatsoever.What I dont get is the software version on my player is the latest where as the software version on the exact same model in the shop is an old version but yet it plays perfectly.Please HELP!

    Hi All,

    Please see below an update on the fright night issue..

     

    Sony are looking into the issue that's been mentioned in this thread..

    There has been a delay because a copy of the Blu Ray disc has to be sent to Sony Japan, unfortunately, although requests were made to local rental stores for a copy of the 'rental version' of the Fright Night BD, nothing was actually recieved by Sony..

     

    The retail version of Fright Night was released on the 20th February 2012 & Sony UK have ordered a copy of the retail version but at the moment I do not know if that produces the same problems that the rental version has caused..

     

    Has anybody been able to check if this runs succesfully on thier BD player..

    I bought the Blu-ray of Fright Night from Sainsbury's but it wouldn't play on my BDP-S185. I sent the disc back thinking that was where the problem lay as my Blu-ray player is less than 2 months old but the replacement disc still wouldn't play.  I rang the shop where the player came from and the firmware update was suggested.  I have performed the update and am now running on the "33" version but the disc still won't play!

     

    I'm wondering if they'll let me take the player back for a refund....

    Hi

    We bought Blu ray of Fright night from Amazon. We have a BDPS380 Not only does it not play the disc, it also jams up the machine and you have to turn it off at the wall, in order to even get the disc out of the player.

    We are using the latest version of the firmware. Our player is only 2 months old

    To be fair on this one I think Sony had dificulty in obtaing a copy of the fright night BD & had to wait for the retail version to be released so that they could purchase a copy & forward to Japan..
