I've never had a movie freeze on me. I've watched probably 15-20 movies on it.

No issues on mine. However, one of my close friends got a PS3 3 days ago, and he said that while watching Syriana, it froze 3 times, lasting 15 sec each freeze.

   There is one source right there.  There have been quite a handful of people that have had these problems.  Doesn't seem to be a big problem.  The newest update seems to fix it.

I read a review at an official HD movie review site (If I can find the name of the site, I'll post it) that said that Ice Age was the best looking Blu Ray movie.  You can see details that you didn't even know were there in the first place.

Have had Blu Ray movies freeze/turn crazy colored (invert colors) about 5+ times, and one time a DVD flickered.

Crank or Kingdom of Heaven are the choice for reference disk IMO.

For the blu-ray playback on PS3, I think there is some random pausing problem reported in the (or before) 1.5 patch, but I think Sony was quick to release a fix in 1.51.

UK got Casino Royale in their first 500,000 PS3.

Lucky bastards.

When someone says, "I keep hearing that blu-ray movies freeze on the PS3" they are implying that it's a pretty wide problem affecting many people. So much so, that a firmware patch is needed. Well, that is not the case. Since most people have had great performance from the blu-ray drive. A "source" would be an article that shows that Sony has had many complains from people that are getting a "freezing" problems. Nothing of that scale has happed. A big problem is more like the issue with the scaling problem or the jaggies from the PS2 games. So, you can't just reference "Some guy, who is a friend says that his copy of Syriana froze on him 3 times, 15 seconds..." That's not a source. You yourself, said, "There have been quite a handful" then follow that up with "doesn't seem to be a big problem." Quite a handful, yet not a big problem? Which is it? By the way, I have never had a blu-ray movie freeze. And I have over 20 movies. Just seems like the TC heard a rumor that was blow out of proportion.

There has been some discussion of Blu-Ray playback lock-ups since the 1.5 update here at AVS Forum.
