Basically, the BD profile should be finalised once and for all and all players should now come out as standard. They've had more than enough time now to get it right. But I think one of the problems is that the distributors keep introducing new copyright protection or encode their discs with complex Java code, which requires the players to have a firmware update. |
With my Samsung Blu-ray player updates only work via USB stick with a size of more than 1 GB and not via CD. My player could also be directly connected to a router in order to download updates - but it doesn't work with my specific router. That's "technically minded" for you.
But I totally agree with the rest of your statement.
