Antny Member Member since:Sep 2007	How much does firmware updates hurt BD adoption? Just wondering, I know that it will not hurt the tech savvy person but for those that are electronically challanged I think it is an issue. DVD never required a firmware upgrade and BD should be set up for the masses. I know for a fact many people (even in my family) would never want to buy a disc and not be able to watch it because they need to update the firmware. This isn't a shot to BD (I love mine, and I know HD-DVD needed them too). I just wouldn't want anything to stop it's growth especially including the plug-and-play people around. I know you can set it up to upgrade itself via the internet but I still see a slew of people that "can't be bothered". Opinions?
