I think the number of players requiring updates is about 4 or 5 so far of
all players ever manufactured. It's not a big deal and the issue has been
blown *way* out of proportion.

That's not what I've been reading. I've been reading about people who
just bought a current model, and had to update the firmware. One had the
update fail, turning her brand new blu-ray player into a
dvd-only-playing-brick.

Reports haven't been confined to any specific brand or model. Sharp,
Toshiba, Sony, Panasonic - they all seem to have players that are
affected.

Even some models of Sony's PS3's have had problems, while the newer slim
models had none.

Either way, this isn't how you win customers over to a new technology.
