Home Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

it's definitely not

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.
