Okay, it just took me the better part of 5 minutes to start playing a BluRay movie. It took more than 1 minute to load

then 1 minute to get past all the stupid front features (trailers, etc), then more loading.

Then Play twice. Once to tell it I wanted to watch it and once to tell it I just wanted to watch it, not watch it with some special feature turned on.

Good fucking Gawd! BluRay better give me a fucking blow job if it's going to need this much foreplay.

I, Robot did this on my dad's bluray player ... I found it odd. (Also, "Initiate Feature"? Try "PLAY", ya daft designers.) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 12:09

Some discs are a lot worse than others. -- nm - Shaun Jan 4, 12:04 5
- yes. Also, some players are much slower than others. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 4, 12:12 1
  - I find the PS3 fast enough for my liking. -- nm - Shaun Jan 4, 12:14
- In my experience, Universal and Disney are the worst offenders. -- nm - Shaun Jan 4, 12:05 2
  - It's Disney. They should be shot for the forced previews alone. -- nm - TWuG Jan 4, 12:08 1
    - Yep, they're the worst. -- nm - Shaun Jan 4, 12:08
