Rocky Balboa DVD glitch

[Oberon2001]

I recently purchased Rocky Balboa from Walmart and popped it in my RCA 5220P and the player did not recognize it all, so I tried another Sony DVD, this time Spider-Man 2.1 and it worked perfectly. Has anyone had any trouble with their copy of Rocky Balboa? Please let me know if this is occurring anywhere else. This is the third copy I picked up, the other two copies of Rocky Balboa I purchased at the Ft Bragg PX.

There was an issue with copy protection Sony was putting on some of their discs. You'd think they would have learned from the whole cd dmr mess. But this is Sony after all.

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has discovered the source of a problem in their recent DVD releases that prevented them from being played on some players, including some manufactured by the consumer electronics division of Sony itself. The company said the problem was caused by an update of its copy-protection system, which it continually updates in order to derail potential hackers. Among the DVD movies affected were the new James Bond film Casino Royale, The Pursuit of Happyness and Stranger Than Fiction. Sony said that anyone who had purchased one of the discs and has experienced problems playing it may receive a replacement disk free of charge by phoning 800-860-2878.
