Care to check?

If you add the new firmware, the region-coding for Blu-ray gets enforced.

I purchased my Samsung a couple of weeks ago from a Los Angeles based wholeseller. I have not installed the firmware update as my player already had the dots and not the hourglass and I never experienced any problems with playing BDs with dts audio (Not only "regular" dts plays fine on the Samsung, I didn't have any problem with the lossless 5 Mbps dts on "Kingdom of Heaven", either, and without this update).

What you said, Blackraven, does it mean that if I continue to skip firmeware updates, I will always have a region-free player? I have already ordered a PS3 which will come to us in March, so from then on I will have the A and B regions anyway, but a region-free player would be great!
