Unknown disc error

Hi
This is my first post. Ive got a philips BDP5100-12 player and Ive got no problems playing any bluray disc until now. I bought a TV series called Strike Back earlier this week and all I get is that its an unknown disc.
I went to the philips site and upgraded software and firmware, again, all discs play but Strike Back. I got in contact with the seller and she claims that she had no problems running it on a Sony player, now this is where my PS3 comes in.....guess what....unknown disc. Gonna test it on a mates PS3 tmrw but I stand doubtful that it will play.
Are there any other suggestions guys?
Thanks for any replies

If a disc fails to play on your friend's PS3 the disc is defective.

If it plays your Phillips may be dying.

It's gonna be one thing or the other...

Good, Then it's still under warranty.

But chances are it's the disc...

Phew....managed to get discs loaded in, theyre both extremely slow on loading, others like ninja assassin, avatar SE, alien anthology, etc are almost instant :)
