Default Re: Why do people dislike Firmware updates??



However most people don't have internet pulls to their TVs or DVD players. They don't have the wiring for it. So you shouldn't expect a player to need it.

Something like 25% of the Spiderman BDs were returned to Best Buy because "it won't play." I've heard larger numbers but I'll believe the 25%.

A firmware update is worse than a rebate. Something like only 30% of all rebates ever get turned in. Firmware updates on devices is much, much, much less than that. Being connected constantly to the internet helps.

I'd much rather a movie play in my machine and not need any updates at all.
