   The following news comes to strengthen the trial and error aura over Sony's latest activities, by involving a horror movie (actually the genre has nothing to do with the current matter) and a heap of "infamous" Blu-ray players. Courtesy of IMDb website, it appears that where Pioneer and most importantly Sony standalone players fail to absolve themselves from various problems, the PS3 gaming system's unit is the only Blu-Ray player walking tall, sort of speak.
"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 was 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."
   By early this year I'm positive they meant mid March, but hey, regardless the specific date, I'm sure there will be plenty of time to get things right.
