As for firmware updating your drive, the Matsushita/Panasonic laptop drives are all locked to only accept firmware from the PC manufacturer... as opposed to a nice generic firmware from Matsushita/Panasonic. It's a real pain... and one reason I don't think anyone has done much work on altering the firmware.

I haven't had a chance to test different region BD disc, as I only have one BD disc at the moment, all I want to do is watch oversea DVD in my room when other family member are watching on the media centre :-(
