New Wall-e won't play

Just purchased the new blu ray "Wall-e". When I try to play it on my Sony S300 player, it will play the previews and then go to the menu as normal. When I hit "Play", it does nothing. The other features on the menu work fine, such as, the short cartoon "Presto" runs fine. I can go to "scene select" and I can choose a scene, but will not take me into the movie once the scene is selected. Long story short, the movie part of the disc just won't play.

    Same problem.  We got Wall-e and it simply won't play the disc.  I have not updated the firmware because Sony has'nt responded to my inquiries to get the firmware update.  Once again, sorely disappointed in the one and only....

    It is not the disk. I too am having the same issue.

    exactly the same problem

  • Anonymous Jan 26, 2009

    Rented a movie it loads and I can look at all the menus while the intro is playing. If I try to play a scene selection, or try to play the actual movie, as soon as the first scene starts it stops and the player cuts off.

    Never had it happen before but this was the first BD-ROM I've tried to play. Took it back figuring it was a bad disc. The replacement did the same thing.

    I have the same problem. The SONY S300 will play all the Blu-Ray I have that came out at the time I bought the unit. However, I noticed that with the HULK Blu-Ray I had to go into scenes to get the SONY S300 to play the movie. NOW - the SONY S300 won't play regardless of what you do. I can still play all of the first Blu-Ray movies I have but none of the current movies will play. Going to ask the geek squad at Best Buy if they know of a fix and will contact SONY!

    Same problem. Even if a firmware fix is available, how would I upgrade my Blu Ray player? Is this a Disney problem or a Sony problem?

    I have the same problem and it is not the disc. The new Madagascar 2 would not play but the same disc worked fine on a newer Blu Ray player. It has something to do with this Blu Ray not being able to handle new discs. Very poor on Sony's part

    Same thing here...I can play all the previews and when it gets to the menu  and I hit play, it won't do nothing.  I have the BDP-S300 SONY.  However, when I used the PS3, it played it.

Can not play blu-ray on my bdp-s300

If the issue is with only new discs, then you can install the Firmware update.
http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-download.pl?upd_id=5861&mdl=BDPS300
If the issue is with all the discs, then try resetting the Player from the Menu. If the issue still persists, try power resetting the player.
Turn Off the player and remove the power plug from the wall outlet for 1 minute and reconnect it and check the operation.
If the issue still persists, then the player requires service.
