Picked up Iron Man on Blu-Ray today, got home, popped it in the player
and get this lovely circular blue glowing thing (presumably Stark's
chest power-source thing) and... nothing else. PS3 is unresponsive to
the controls, no movie, no menu, no nothing.

So I hop online to see if there's a system update I need... sure
enough, 2.43 dropped on the 17th and I start the download. 6% in I get
a "server cannot be reached" error and am disconnected.

So I re-confirm my network and internet settings and resume the
download. It's just now at 25% done, after which (based on the other
firmware downloads I've done) I'll have to install the update and re-
boot.

Remember when watching a movie was as simple as popping in a disc and
watching the damn movie? Yeah... looks like Blu-Ray fucks that up
too... I googled and found lots of other people are having trouble
too. One star reviews are hitting Amazon for the same reason.

Brilliant guys... just brilliant. "Blue Ring of Death"

(Woo! 46% done on the firmware download...)

Funny...when I updated with 2.43, it took literally about 5 minutes.
Maybe it's your connection that needs to be shotgunned....
