YOU as a CONSUMER should have done some research first. Here or elsewhere before jumping into a "pretty expensive player". Anyone here could have answered your questions and saved you some trouble and this thread.

YOU don't get to complain.

That's harsh. Not everyone should be expected to become an expert on something prior to making a purchase. Can you imagine buying a VHS VCR only to find out it can't play the latest VHS tapes? Can you imagine buying a VCR period? I remember when I bought a CD carousel that believe it or not couldn't randomly play songs among the five discs. It could only randomly play songs within a single disc. The Sony rep confirmed this for me after the fact. Nice.

My point is, while your argument is not without merit, your expectations of the average consumer (in other words 99.9% of the population) are far, far too great.
