With BluRay, they can add new features to the BluRay specification as time goes by. Things like more interactive game play, internet access, etc., whatever they can think of. You don't have to take advantage of those new capabilities if you don't want to. It will still just play the disc without an update. But certain features of the newer discs will be unavailable unless you update. Your choice. Steve Heh. New "features" like making them work? I looked up the latest firmware update available for my brandy-new Sharp Blu-Ray player. According to the website, the update "corrects the lock up problem of the disk drawer open/close operation".

I looked up the latest firmware update available for my brandy-new Sharp Blu-Ray player. According to the website, the update "corrects the lock up problem of the disk drawer open/close operation". Of course there are updates to fix problems as well as add new features. This sounds like an update I'd want to have. Then again, if your disk drawer isn't locking up during the open/close operation, I might just not install that one and wait for the next one that does something I'd want. There's probably a very specific, maybe rare condition that causes that to occur. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't have released the unit if they could never open the drawer, right? Steve |
