| | Posted: | | | | Has anyone else experienced any problems with the 2 disc + digital copy version (5051368211336) of Watchmen? I bought a copy yesterday just went to play it and there was a horrendous vibration noise coming from the PS3. Went straight back to Blockbuster got a new copy and that one's doing the same!  No other BDs or DVDs have done this in the past, just tried a few now and they are still fine. I was really looking forward to watching the Watchmen tonight too  |

| | Posted: | | | | Never that problem with my PS3. To me though it sounds like the exhaust fan is working hard, which I have had with mine when it gets hot and humid in my apartment. Does the disc play? | | | We're on a mission from God.

| | Posted: | | | | Chris- Updated to 3.01 and still get the same problem. Thanks for the suggestion though. Mike- It's definitely not the exhaust fan, it's like the disc is off-center and the resulting wobble is causing the vibration. I compared the movie disc to the special features disc (which plays fine) and there is no obvious damage. I've just re-tried a few of my other BDs and there is a very slight vibration with those, although nothing like what I'm experiencing with Watchmen. It's barely audible, you can just about feel it. DVDs have no vibration at all. Can anyone confirm this? I'm going to try this copy on a friends PS3 then get another copy from Blockbuster. If it works fine on his and not on mine again, I may send the PS3 in for repair...if its still in warranty.  |

| | Posted: | | | | It's been a long time since I rented anything from Blockbuster, but do they still sometimes put stickers on their discs? If so, that might be what's causing the imbalance in the drive. |

| | Posted: | | | | ..and don't bluray spin twice as fast as reguilar dvd's ?? The stickers shopuld be balanced , as they would definatley cause a wobble. There seems to be a problem with this disc on other sites as well.. | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

| | Posted: | | | | Tried the second copy in a friends PS3 and witnessed the same problem. So I took it back and as they were out of stock I got a refund. A week later I ended up getting a pre-owned copy from Blockbuster and it works perfectly!  |
