Page 1 of Yipes - CRASH on super furry disc !

oh dear oh dear oh dear...

in their rush to get their disc out, SONY have failed to fully check whether their Super furry animals disc actually works - and it doesn`t! I`ve found a crash on the super furrys using most players, that is such a basic/simple authoring error, i`m surprised the authoring house is still in business. It`s not even a complicated sequence. Try this and see...

go to INFO from the main menu, and from the subsequent menu, select DISC INFO. You`ll see a screen come up with a countdown of about 15 secs. Don`t do anything, just wait till the countdown runs down to zero - and the disc will crash to the player menu.

What`s all that about ?!!

Selecting enter on this screen doesn`t do anything during the countdown, and pressing button only takes you back to the previous menu. So where`s the disc info ?!! I`m sorry, but i think this is not a deliberate error, but a major oversight. Sony are gonna have a lot of disgruntled callers and emailers by the end of the month, i`m sure.... oh, what a shame.

So much for SFA. Now, who wants some Orbital.....

I was wondering what that was all about......

plus my disc went mad half way through Presidential Suite and then jumped to the next song....

Can I have some Orbital please.

Andrew.

I bet the next batch will have this problem sorted and you copy will worth a lot more in a few years.

LOL Raymond

guess what - `what dvd` magazine have got a review of SFA in their latest edition, and it mentions that the version they tested had bugs and crashes which would be ironed out before the release of the actual disc.
But obviously they haven`t been - now thats a first, a review mentioning crashes in their review of a disc. not good my amigos, not good...

Well, having got though the whole disk at last, it all played fine (although the `Disk Info` 15 second countdown is very odd to say the least). Not one song crashed...perhaps I`m just lucky :-)
