Question about Toshiba HD XA2 player displaying 1080p/24...

I am able to get 1080p/24 on my PS3 for BD movies and confirm by displaying info screen on my Pioneer 60" Kuro. However, when I upgraded my XA2 firmware to enable the 1080/24, it doesn't display properly. The screen flickers and when I play an HDDVD it's still reading at 1080p/60. Is there a problem with the Toshiba XA2 latest firmware??? I'm pissed about this considering it cost me $800 and obvious poor quality control at Toshiba! :<

Also wondering if Toshiba has really cut corners in their products, hence, they can sell their A2's at a really low price point (even profit losing?). If this is the case, I'm going to consider selling my XA2 asap to reduce my losses while I can...
Anyone know if some of my favorite films in Hi-def can be playable on this Toshiba A2:

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
