My hunch is that there is a recurring check for how long the system has been idle and when it crosses X threshold it starts playing the movie.

One way to resolve this would be to have a second threshold (Y) and if the delta is greater than X and Y then reset the timer rather than launching the movie. I know this isn't that important but thought I would flag. Could happen on more platforms than just PlayStation. Thanks for making a great game!
