None on my player. So long as folks stay current with firmware, there shouldn't be very much. Sony appears to be very good about having updates available BEFORE a new title is released as it appears some are not being tested on players by the studio. Cannot say for sure about the other player manufacturers.

The BR format update concerns the addition of interactive features and has nothing to do with a player's ability to play a movie released with new technical features, interactive or audio. All players have the ability to flash their firmware to add certain upgrades, but this may not include some or all of the interactive features. PS3 has firmware to add features for SACD and additional Blue Ray high resolution audio to existing players. Some new PS3 players have removed the SACD playback feature. A few producers held back releasing their films in BR until the recent interactive standard was released. This was to make sure their releases worked as intended in players that were actually available to the public.
