Blu -Ray player of PS3 goes with the winners

The next news amplifies the uncertainty that accompanies the most recent activities performed by Sony, involving a horror movie (the type that has no connection with the problem in question) and a bunch of Blu-ray players. Due to IMDb, we find out that where the Pioneer and Sony standalone players fail to avoid different problems based on compatibility, Ps3's unity console remains the only Blu-Ray player absolved from any faults.

The Sony Blu-ray high-definition version of Lionsgate's horror flick The Descent plays fine on Sony's new PlayStation3 game device, but those who attempt to watch it on an ordinary Sony Blu-ray player will see only a blank screen, according to reports that have emerged over the past few days on several websites devoted to high-definition video formats. A similar problem has been reported with Pioneer Blu-ray players. The Descent disc features numerous "extras" produced exclusively for the Blu-ray format, including a picture-in-picture video commentary. And therein lies the problem, according to the HD websites. Lionsgate used BD-Java technology for the extras, which is not compatible with the Sony BDP-S1 and Pioneer Elite Blu-ray players. Sony says it is aware of the problem and is working to provide an update to the operating system of its players by early this year."

"Early this year" leaves you on the impression that we should wait until the middle of March, but eventually, no matter the specific date, I'm sure that enough time will pass until things get back on track.
