...particularly my Sony DVP-CX995V DVD changer will not play "stranger than fiction". Ironically this DVD is released by sony pictures. It took me two netflix discs to figure out that its not just a bad copy. Luckily I didn’t have to go though the hassle of trying to return an open DVD.

I found a post on Amazon about others having the same issue with several recent sony dvds (like "casino royale") with many other brands of DVD players.

So far 8 others have reported similar issues with sony movies on Amazon's site.


I called Sony and they assured me that they would "fix" my player if I sent it to Texas for 4-6 weeks. Even if they were willing to pay shipping (which they are not), it would just be easier to rip the movie and watch the copy if I were so inclined to watch any sony movies after this crap.
