We might be jumping the gun calling it a DRM problem. I don't think there's any proof of that yet. It could be a good old fashion incompatibility problem. The era of "easy" consumer firmware updating has been a mess over the last few years. Companies ship beta quality software with the knowledge they can fix things later. Maybe they will -- maybe they won't. What happens if the company goes out of business? What if the model just doesn't sell well enough to justify further firmware development? Everyone knows DRM is bad but I don't think we spend enough time knocking companies for this horrible practice of making consumers chase the carrot of firmware upgrades. It's not a trivial task for most people especially if it requires downloading files and USB memory sticks which is the case with many older BR players.
