HD DVD player owners aren't the only ones experiencing playback issues. According to a blog post by Dean Takahashi at the Mercury News, there are some playback issues with the Blu-ray release of Dragon's Lair. According to Dean's post, the disc would not load at all on his Philips Blu-ray player and there was no audio when he played it on his PS3.
Can anyone figure out what's going on here? I played a Blu-ray disc game that didn't work so well. It was the old Dragon's Lair title, remade for Blu-ray. You have to press the right button on the Blu-ray remote to make sure that your hero makes the right choice in this old cinematic game.
I put it into a Philips Blu-ray player and it didn't work at all. I put it into the Sony PlayStation 3 and it worked fine, but without any sound. Somebody smart tells me its a Java problem. Anyone know?
While the Blu-ray Disc Association has said that first-gen players won't become obsolete, its obvious that not all titles will play on them, at least without a BD-Java update. If you'd like to read more, Dean's entire post can be found here.
