Panasonic Blu-Ray players and Starship Troopers

"My husband likes these movies so he bought the 3 disc set. Unfortunately, disc 1 wouldn't play on our Panasonic BD35. So he contacted Amazon and they sent a replacement. (Thank you, Amazon!) Well, when we got the replacement, disc 1 still wouldn't work. That's when I got on Amazon and saw the previous review stating that someone else had a problem with disc 1 and their Panasonic player.

So I did some research online at Blu-ray.com and found someone there with the same problem. Fortunately for us, someone had figured out the solution to our problem. For some unspecified reason, disc 1 needs to write to memory in order to boot up. And some Panasonic players do not contain internal memory. So they will not boot up correctly. But, if you put an SD memory card in the SD memory card slot, the disc will write to that and it will boot up just fine.

We went out this morning and got a memory card and came home and, what do you know, they were right! It does work. So I wanted to get onto Amazon and let everyone know how to fix this little problem if you also happen to have a Panasonic player and couldn't get this disc to work on your machine.

Hope this helps. I gave it 3 stars because I thought that having to go through all of that just to get disc 1 to boot was a bit extreme especially since the other discs work just fine."

Only the first movie is worth watching

"Save your money. Only the first movie is worth watching. The sequels are lame rip-offs of the title."

It's simple economics

"Do you spend $53 for this ($10 less if it's during a gold box special) or $17 for Starship Troopers (+ BD Live) [Blu-ray].

With this you are spending about 3 times as much and getting maybe 50% more enjoyable "movie" experience*.

I submit that getting just the original (in Blu-Ray) is a far better value.

* I've watched the original many times and sat through the other two once each. The first movie was outstanding. If you liked it then you will probably be at least a little bit to a lot disappointed with the other two. (That's where the estimate of 50% more enjoyment for the other two movies comes from. This figure is probably a bit optimistic.) If you didn't like the first movie then there's no way you'll like the other two."
