Starship Troopers (+ BD Live) [Blu-ray]
Just received copy number 3 and Dito - it didn't load/play. Really felt like a "Dolt" for not reading the reviews. Like all the other folks we've got about 100+ Blu-ray movies and this is a first. My complaint is - "Amazon.Com" should read the reviews as well and tag the product when there's a glitch. All they had to do is direct me to the reviews and I'd have either returned the original or proceeded on. Used a 250MB flash drive and a USB cable from my digital camera accessories used to download the memory card to my computer and - "Bingo"
What a movie addict won't go through for his entertainment.
Awesome, After Getting It to Play on Sony S350 - Rating: 4/5
It's just what I was looking for, since I lost my non blu-ray Starship Troopers. I was really surprised by the great picture quality, since some older movies I've seen on blu-ray don't seem to be that much better than the standard DVDs. The movie is released by Sony.
I thought it was defective at first too, it loaded and all I saw was a black screen. I had to look on the internet to figure out how to play it. That was lame. But on my blu-ray player Sony BDP-S350, I had to put a USB drive in the back of it, which is how you extend the memory on that model. Don't know how much it needs, but I put a 2 GB drive in and that worked for me.
If you like the movie, I'd recommend getting the blu-ray. You surely won't be dissapointed with the quality.
Great movie - Rating: 5/5
Great movie for anyone who likes action adventure comedy and sci/fi. Looks great on blu-ray.
Loading Probs on a Panasonic!!! - Rating: 1/5
OK, Ive read the reviews and the probs, I currently own a Panasonic BD60 multi-region Bluray and multi-region DVD UK player. I just got Starship Troopers and was amazed to find even with a BD60 it still didnt load!!
same as the rest of you guys.
OK, so I gotta get an SD card right?
my questions are, does there have to be any specific size for the card?
are the cards all the same size to fit the slot?
what size mem SD card do I get?
thanks :)
ps. its VERY poor that Sony dont mention this, VERY POOR.
Guilty Pleasure - Rating: 4/5
The Blu-Ray is beautiful and would get a 5 star rating were the movie better than a guilty pleasure.
The movie is a gore-fest with only Michael Ironside providing a good performance. That said it is a cult classic and, as I said, the Blu-Ray pops and my theater setup provided DTS HD-Master Audio, which provided great sound.
