I did buy silver surfer, and and no, it doesn't play on my 1200. WHY ELSE WOULD I BE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT? Out of 11 Blu-ray discs I own, 3 have lip sinc issues, 2 of those also freeze up, and 2 won't play at all. 5 discs with issues, out of 11? that's 45% error rate. I don't know a a FW update will fix most of these-only 1 is the recent problem. I never had this much problem with my A1.
You really are clueless.
JackEdit: I've been pretty tolerant of my 1200's problems overall, but this (silver surfer) issue has pushed me over the edge of tolerance-perhaps because it could have been easily prevented.

Never saw it. Never will, if I'm lucky. That doesn't work, so you cancel your order for Oldboy, which isn't even from the same studio?
What titles have lip sync or freezing issues?
You might want to try all those "error" BDs on a different player before you write off the format.

I bought SS for my wife really.
lip sync:
A vs P (horrid movie)-also Froze up
Ghost rider-also froze up
Underworld
With the lip synch, it was fixed usually by pausing the movie, or switching to DD+ (Underworld pause didn't help)
after the discussion a few pages back about RE2 selling well,I got it out of curiosity. It won't play past the menu.
I did manage to get through:
Warriors of Heaven and Earth
Curse of the golden flower
Premonition
Speed
I did had a minor pause with Fifth Element, but not a big deal

HDMI has treated me okay to date, but my whole system is HDMI 1.3, the cable runs are short, and the Playstation 3 has far more computing horsepower than it strictly needs for mere Blu-Ray playback. I also don't think I've yet encountered uncompressed 24/96 lossless audio which ought to use up some real bandwidth.
The problem discs have specific spots, and its repeatable, and in the case of Silver Surfer-its a known problem. I never had HDMI problems before, and I use analog out for audio.

And is the firmware on your PS3 up to date? You'll need 1.90 to not experience audio dropouts. The video was fine.
I thought it may have been an HDMI handshake issue for the audio with these new BDs but it drops out over optical also without 1.90 firmware.
Dang Audio dropouts though. Dealer told me they had tried it out and the disc "played", silly me for assuming they bothered to listen to the audio. Hopefully, I can download the firmware fix within days... I can confirm the audio dropouts over optical. With PCM through the analog outputs I got all sorts of bleeps, tones, etc in addition to the dropouts in lieu of movie soundtracks.
you might want to stay away from Samsung and LG with regard to electronics purchases. That's not to say other manufacturers don't have their occassional problems, but these two generally have more compatibility/standards problems than Japanese or American electronics manufacturers.
I'm going to see how this upgrade is handled. I canceled my Oldboy order, since I don't know if future discs will be playable yet. Despite my dislike for the way the BDA does things, I do like owning both formats. It is still possible, that down the road (when I calm down a bit)I will replace my 1200 but it will have to be a 1.1 complaint at least. The funny thing is, that the 1200 really is a very good DVD player. No more REON chips in future generations.

I have three issues with the PS3:
#1 DTS-HD Master Audio
The PS3 has more than enough horsepower to decode DTS-HD MA, but it's not a SCEA priority at the moment. Right now they're working on Profile 1.1/2.0 capabilities and that's the next "big step" for the PS3. I'm guessing it will be the highly anticipated 2.0 firmware update (not a small point-this or point-that update, maybe around December or January). Once they get that out of the way, they'll see if there're horses left over for DTS-HD MA decoding.
#2 Video levels
Because it's software driven, firmware updates have seen the player go through an on-again off-again ability to properly pass digital video levels 1-15 and 236-254 via an HDMI-DVI path. There's only one way to properly display video and SCEA needs to make sure that it stays put. Right now (v1.93), the PS3 is in the "not-put" position.
#3 Denon DVD-3800BDCI
Based on the info that has been released, this will be the best Blu-ray/DVD player available. Yes, $2000 is rather steep, but Denon doesn't fuck around when it comes to audio and video quality.
