Crave: "Five reasons you shouldn't buy a Blu-ray player yet"

[Anthony P]

Like it or not, this is the sort of thing that will detour regular people from jumping on board with Blu-Ray if the format doesn't get to a point where these updates are no longer required. I hope we get to that point, because I want the format to flourish.

But what ever format that will unfortunately never be true. The issue is not the players but what you want. The minute you say HDi or BD-J (the fox title you mentioned was not a BD+ issue) you are talking a multi functional device, just like any PC. And just like any PC (or PC equipment) you will need updates for ever, because simply put the guy that created the device a few months ago (or years ago) cannot know what the content creator will want in a few days, weeks, months or years. It has nothing to do with BD, it is asking a device to evolve with the demand.
