The Descent giving fits to BD-Java-less Blu-ray players {Engadget HD}

Jan 26th 2007 2:45PM If one installs the larest version of the Firmware from Sony (Version 1.50), "The Descent" does ultimately play. Once upgraded, playing the movie produces a blank screen for a while, about 1-2 minutes. After this, a white screen is presented with a little black square in the upper left, then a "Loading Logo Screen" appears and a menu is then displayed and movie progresses normally from there. The whole process may take a few minutes, and hopefully Sony will make more improvements to increase the performance of these types of disks.
