If you have it connected to the internet, it will check for updates on its own.

AFAIK, there haven't been any firmware updates.

so i just plug an ethernet wire from my blu ray player to my computer and just turn on my player and it will load on its own?

Welcome and great buy.

Now you will have to spend your life savings purchasing all the Blus you must have. You'll say "no I won't" but it eats at you once you have seen a few Blus. I'll just get one more, you'll say. Then you think of another movie that now is a must have. And on it goes until you look back at your collection and realize you have spend 1,000's of dollars.

You wife or husband has discovered what you have done and you are now divorced. Your life is destroyed just because one Blu-ray player.

Welcome to the club.
