Because my mom (who is 65, by the way) would call me and either I'd do the firmware upgrade or tell her how to do it herself. Cost? $0 and any moron can do it. Anyone who buys a Blu-ray player is either electronically unchallenged or knows someone who can do it for them without the $30 price gouge. And if your mom would throw away a $500 Blu-ray player because she couldn't get a movie to play, then she's got more pressing issues than firmware upgrades.
The bottom line is that Best Buy is taking advantage of people by creating a scare. Don't take up for them.
