Bloody hell. Haven`t tried mine yet. Bet its cos its a f***in combo disc.

Try it and let me know, I hope its just not a dodgy disc. Went to watch it and it wouldnt even read it!

From digital bits, I know it`s nothing to do with Smoking Aces, but it`s seems to be a common problem with a couple of other Universal movies.

I bought the HD-DVD of Smokin` Aces from my local HMV store on Friday..... It`s a Combo Disc (or so it says) but it`s my first combo. The only other 2 discs I own being Superman Returns and the fast and the furious Tokyo drift. These 2 work great on my X-box 360 HD-DVD drive....

However Smokin` Aces plays very jerky... like it`s missing fractions of the movie as it`s reading the disc and then stops...... Not a problem I thought I`ll just watch the standard DVD version on my 360 or on my Philips DVD recorder...Nope got nothing from it at all just spun around and spat it out...

It says on the back cover Side A High definition Side B stanard definition. But the disc has a printed label on the face of the disc... So I thought when I put it in that it would ask me which side I wanted to play.... Am I just being thick here or is this just an HD version and not a Combo version like it states on the cover.....?

"If Gods mistakes are built to last then I shall live eternal"

I got a US version of Smokin Aces and it plays absolutely A-OK. No problems whatsoever.

The strangest thing just happend, I decided to hook my 360 back online (it`s been offline since I change my Wii to a wired broadband connection) As soon as it connected It did an automatic up date on the system.

After it finnished I tried Smokin` Aces again and boom it works perfectly.... Runs like a dream.... Not sure if there was something in the update or weither it was just luck either way I just finnished watching it there just now......

Still can`t see where the standard DVD version is mind you.lol

I was aware of an update coming out (there was also a dashboard update earlier in the week too).

Didn`t think the update was out til last week though?

Surely isn`t a combo disc then? I`ve got three of them and they`re all as they should be.
