]]> Comment on Sony BDP-BX2 Blu-ray Player is Coming to a Costco Near You by larr tyndall http://formatwarcentral.com/2009/06/03/sony-bdp-bx2-blu-ray-player-costco/#comment-8453 larr tyndall Mon, 04 Jan 2010 19:10:55 +0000 http://formatwarcentral.com/?p=2815#comment-8453 I bought a bdpbx2 for christmas and it didn't work so I took it back. Got another one in a lighter blue box. It plays some dvd's excellent. On some it plays the trailers and intro but there is no audio on the movie itself. If you switch the audio to spanish it plays the audio fine. The guy at the future shop thinks it has to updated because the movie was updated. I tried the external port thing and it didn't work. I can't find the lan 100 cable so it's going back too. I wouldn't buy another one.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('8453','larr tyndall'); return false;">Reply</a> | <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('8453','larr tyndall','I bought a bdpbx2 for christmas and it didn\'t work so I took it back.
