"Walkabout" Blu Playback Issues?
Just seeing if anyone else has experienced this issue. I purchased the Criterion Blu-ray of the movie "Walkabout" yesterday. When I put it in my Sony BDP-N460 player, it shows up as "Unknown" on the players menu screen, and I get this error message:
However, it plays fine in my sons PlayStation 3 and the older Sony BDP-S350 player I have in the bedroom. The BDP-N460 is fully updated. The BDP-S350 hasn't been updated in some time. Possible that a recent update could have broken compatibility with that particular disc? All other discs play fine in the newer player. This is the first Criterion label disc I have bought.

Your player isn't among the ones listed, but the disc has been recalled due to some playability issues on select models.

Email Criterion and tell them the problem. They will give you an address to send the defective disc back for a corrected disc. I keep forgetting to send mine back to them. When I emailed them they said they would send one to me when they had newer disc pressed, but this was a few months ago. I asked in the Criterion blu-ray thread asking if anyone had received a fixed disc yet, but I never got an answer/was ignored so people could complain about their use of digipack packaging.
