In Reply to: And so, it begins... posted by Jack G on October 3, 2007 at 05:10:41:
And it looks like all the other older Blu-ray players are going to need firmware updates. I'm ready to shoot the BDA folks who let this happen without(seemingly) cooperation between CE manufacturers and studios. I've this quesy feeling LG, Samsung et al dropped the ball and were surprised by this. Even if there is a firmware fix (and there is for PS3s) either already available or ready for download, this is going to piss off a lot of consumers. Who wants to hassle with firmware downloads (or did this just put me on par with some of the early Toshiba adopters) ?And the really good part is BD+ is malleable. If the hackers break the "code", the studios just change the "code" which probably forces yet another firmware fix.
And how much firmware update fix support will the CE manufacturers tolerate for discontinued models, or even updates for current models ?
