If one installs the larest version of the Firmware from Sony (Version 1.50), "The Descent" does ultimately play. Once upgraded, playing the movie produces a blank screen for a while, about 1-2 minutes. After this, a white screen is presented with a little black square in the upper left, then a "Loading Logo Screen" appears and a menu is then displayed and movie progresses normally from there. The whole process may take a few minutes, and hopefully Sony will make more improvements to increase the performance of these types of disks.
While its tablet world topping pixel density, Tegra 2 silicon, and fresh to death OS certainly sound awesome, we had to get our grubby mitts on one to see if it's as good as its spec sheet would have us believe.
