I started watching Land of the Lost and I'm really close to the end and all of a sudden it just fucking freezes on me and then skips to the credits. Take it out of the my PS3 to see if there are scratches or smudges but don't see anything noticeable. I clean it off and it still freezes in the same spot. WTF!! clean again and now it freezes in another spot and then skips to the credits.

Yes, it's a pretty shitty movie (starring Will Ferrell, so of course it is), but I just want to finish it since I've already put most of the time into it. I'm already relaxed and invested in the movie and this shit happens and just pisses me off.

Now I'll have to wait until they send me another copy to finish it.

So not only do you waste the time watching that but you waste one of your slots getting another dvd of it. :(

So i'm assuming that your PS3 is the only DVD player in your house? You don't have a DVD player on your computer, or a stand-alone DVD Player?

You know.. to make sure it's not the PS3 that's fucking up?

Is it a DVD? If so and you absolutely HAVE to watch it then try it on your PC drive. If it reads it then either just watch it there or rip it and burn it onto a new disc.

It's a blu-ray, not DVD. and yes, the PS3 is the only blu-ray player in the house.

lol, isn't that the first sign of a PS3 laser about to give?

I watched another movie earlier in the day and it worked fine...
Land of the Lost worked perfectly up to this one part, then just stopped and skipped to the credits. I could play the previous parts and credits just fine afterwards.
