Some HD DVD player owners are complaining about playback issues with the title "Children of Men", particularly with the Xbox 360 HD DVD add-on drive. Some users are complaining that after trying multiple copies of the movie on several consoles it refused to play back completely. However, some other users are reporting that the title plays back just fine on the Xbox 360 add-on.
High-Def Digest decided to test it out and indeed found the same results that users had been reporting. The problems are not limited to the Xbox 360 drive either, some users are also claiming that the title does not work correctly with Toshiba's XA2, A2 and A1 standalone players.
While some did manage to get the movie to play, they reported smaller playback issues like being unable to fast forward. Of course, flipping the combo disc over and playing the standard definition DVD-Video version works, but is not an acceptable solution after buying a retail HD DVD.
