Sad to say I don't think the era of firmware updates is over.

I've this quesy feeling the newer 1.1/2.0/whatever Blu-ray discs may force periodic updates on 1.0 players to allow playback.

The November '07 Fox titles also forced a firmware fix probably related to first use of BD+; I don't know much about how BD+ works but will it force a firmware update every time they change the BD+ protection scheme ? Or has Fox given up on ever making it effective ?

My player has already been discontinued with warranty to expire within a couple of months. I wonder how long LG will continue to provide firmware updates to support evolving blu-ray discs ?
