The firmware on the one I have is upgradable...not sure what it would need in that sense, though. All the discs we've tried so far have been fine. The thing about that article that kind of peeves me is the repeated mention of security upgrades...that's kind of a silly issue since it's not like somebody's gonna find a home-brew Blu-Ray disc on the sidewalk, put it in the player and get a virus.

You may have chosen the correct horse but you got on it too quickly. From an MSNBC article at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23262620/ "If you bought a Blu-ray player last year, chances are you could wind up buying another one next year as well. That’s because most stand-alone Blu-ray players are essentially version 1.0 and not upgradeable." Don’t be so quick to celebrate. You may have chosen the correct horse but you got on it too quickly.
