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

- I wonder if you're experiencing HDMI bandwidth or data error issues? - 4season 22:24:13 10/05/07 (3)
  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.
  - I don't think so - Jack G 05:56:29 10/06/07 (0)
    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.

  - Did You Try One Of Fox's New BDs? - Robertc88 04:26:43 10/06/07 (1)
    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.
    - I just tried out FFSS... video worked just fine.... - oscar 19:54:14 10/07/07 (0)
      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.
