Seems like about half the Blu-rays I rent freeze up on my 5000ES. I have the latest firmware installed. Any else having similar issues? I've not had any problems with purchased Blu-rays but the rentals don't appear to be scratched.

I am impressed with the overall quality of the player but it is extremely annoying that it forces you to sit through intro screens again (logos, FBI warning, etc) if you press stop on a BD or DVD menu. Some BDs fail to resume from stop...
