Thats a great deal, the prices do drop suddenly and go back up just as quick. The discs that froze on me were all brand new right out of the shrink wrap, and I had all the latest firmware updates on this player.

Thats a long freeze. I've never had one like that but I had plenty when I was using this player. It would freeze for about 10 seconds in several Blu-ray movies I owned. I've only heard about it from a handful of people so I'm wondering if random players are leaving the factory bad. Can you get a decent Blu-ray player for under 200 bucks? I had a Samsung before this that had Audio sync problems. At this point I have like 15 Blu-ray discs and no player. I refuse to pay more than 200 for one as I could spend a little more than that and build a Home Theater PC.

I can't tell too much, but I have so far 2 BR discs, "Ghost in the shell 2.0" and "Transformers 2". On Ghost in the shell there is a 4 sec. freeze in the same place every time, and in Transformers only the extras has freezes for around 10 secs in different areas, not the movie itself so far. I also upgrade the firmware to 2.0 from 1.1 same issues. I guess this is a very common problem on BR technology.

Just had another freeze. Was playing Stone Angel, a DVD, not Blu. 3 minute freeze at the 1:06 mark. Replayed the scene on my upscaling Sony DVD player. Played perfectly. Tried it again in the Panasonic BD60. Again, freeze at the exact same point. This is definitely a BD60 problem. Just hit 30 days, so I guess I missed the return window. On the plus side, I do love the You Tube feature. It's great watching your favorite music groups in some obscure videos. VG quality You Tube picture, outstanding sound. Really great Bee Gee videos. Worth having for this feature alone.

I've had this player for about six months with a few freezing issues, all with Netflix Blu-ray movies. I also tried the movies on my other Blu-ray players that also had issues at the same point or not starting at all. I have 3 other Sony Blu-ray players and a Samsung 5000 Blu-ray/HD-DVD player. I notified Netflix of the issue & I had them send me another copy of W. which played perfectly on all players so it had to be the disc. I find that I clean all Netflix movies before playing them because they tend to be so dirty. I love the picture quality on Blu-ray and the upconversion on DVD seems to be as good as my Toshiba HD-DVD XA2.

The saving grace is that I caught it at $145. I put wish list items in my cart, and check each morning to try to catch a price drop. This one dropped $45 overnight, and was back up 4 hours later. Reluctant to return it at this price. I'm also wondering, since my Blue Ray discs are Netflix via mail, that it may be possible some rough handling damaged the disc. Netflix ships first class, and does not pad their envelopes. Still a great deal at $10.99 month for Blue Ray. Wish this player gave me Netflix on demand.

Thank you. The problems occurred with Netflix discs. Did not have any problems with purchased Seinfield DVDs (I purchased the boxed set from Amazon). I guess I'll clean the Netflix discs before watching. Though-I did not have problems when I played the stuck Netflix DVD (not Blu), on my Sony DVD player. Maybe the DVD player is less sensitive than my Blu-Rayplayer.

I just had an 11 minute freeze on Benjamin Buttons Blue Ray. Froze from 1:16 to 1:27. I rebooted, and repeatedly tried no fixes. Just couldn't correct it. No freeze on Slumdog Millionaire. These are the first two movies I played on my new Blueray.

If the laptop connects to the internet in any room why wouldn't the ethernet cable run from the laptop to the player? Seems like it should work.

mine will on occassion freeze, but after i exit out and restart it, it will work fine. ive had mine for about 6 months now and my son has played with it everyday.

Seriously. +1 to the notion of this thing freezing. First time it happened I thought it was a small annoyance. 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and etc times it happened, the frustration level starts to grow. I would avoid purchasing it again and am looking at the 7 series instead.

Amazon Prime freezes my player ALL THE TIME! I have to unplug it and replug it to get it to work again.

Do you guys own it? is it worth to get this player? I have not seen any actual reviews from people about this player yet.

Sorry, I have used the player just a couple of times and think it starts where I stopped it. Not tech savvy enough to experiment either .And then remember what I did !

Have you been able to find any more suggestions on a frozen zune? I have tried your ideas, but it's still frozen. I would appreciate any more info you might have to offer.Thanks!

I'm about ready to give up as well. I just got this player, I updated the firmeware, and now I can't even get into the stupid Media player!!!!! I'm almost ready to take this back to best buy and get a different one. Do you have to restart the computer after the update? I'm going to try that and see if that doesn't work.

Yep...The same thing happened to me. I sent it back, bought another one and it happened again. The last one I ordered from Amazon which I never received from Amazon so I took that as a sign to find another player. Any suggestions?

Yeah, in my case, I know it isn't a firmware issue. At this point, my player no longer reads/plays any discs at all. It is pretty much dead in the water for discs. It can still do online stuff, but I have a 360 for that. I talked to LG and they suggest sending it in for repairs, but I've read nothing but negative comments from people who have tried that route. Thanks for the help with the Oppo. It might be the way to go. If anyone else wants to add their 2 cents, I'd appreciate it.

No, Samsung smart blu-ray players freeze all the time. They don't work at all! I've sent mine in for repair and it's still not fixed.

It played a few for me, but not many. With most discs I tried it told me I needed to install the latest patch. I installed the patch and it still told me the same thing. Some of the ones it would *not* play for me were The Amazing Spider-man, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Dark Knight Rises, and Game of Thrones. These are some pretty high-profile titles for it to not work. I think I was able to play Grimm Season 2 and that was about it. It played DVDs with no problems, but the interface is pretty terrible so it's not worth it.

Hi Delta did you ever solve the problem with the freeze after suspend? I found it unacceptable, and Archos hasn't been able to solve it, I'm ready to return the unit.
