J.F I haven't had any problems lately, however the titles I mentioned above still will not load. I've called Sony but all they wanna say is make sure your firmware is updated. I haven't tried WoO, but Ill try it tonight when I get home. Hopefully its just your disc from Netflix...

Thank you, Matt. I'll be hooking the player up to the internet today will do the update straight away. I've only had the player for a couple of weeks but so far no problems and I love the difference in the picture. I really hadn't expected such a large difference. Haven't tried non Blu-Ray yet.

I thought the same thing, however after I added a 2gb Sony micro vault usb drive...nothing changed. I tried WoO and got the loading screen but it won't move beyond that point...much like the other titles I mentioned. I guess ill be calling Sony again to figure this out. Ill post here with new details...

Thanks Matt! Let me know if you get WoO to play. Would adding a flash drive have any benefit??? I too contacted Sony and got transferred 3 times - never getting any help from anyone I talked to.

Im sure its just your netflix disk as I have heard of others having issues in the past with those disks.

No you will definitely want to do it. Some movies don't even play without the updates so its always recommended to get them. However I've been having problems with my BDP-S350 lately, some titles just will not load (Notorious, My Bloody Valentine 3D) I'm still trying to figure out why this is.

I've tried 3 different discs from Netflix and all with the same result - nothing! A new update disc from Sony arrived today so I'll see if that helps.

Did you ever figure out what was wrong??? I can't play the latest Wizard Of Oz Blu ray disk from Netflix.Thanks!

Do not provide website to get firmare updates at this moment. You can send message to customer service to ask if have firmware updates three months once or once half a year. If yes,we will advice you how to update it.

Hmm... not a clue about firmware version. I actually returned the product because it did not solve the problem I was facing (HUGE lag on my PS2 Playstation when connected to new 52" AQUOS Sharp LCD Hi-Def TV). No solution found yet!

alot of the problems i read were related to firmware upgrade. Do you get a recent rev?? or do you have to do the upgrade when you bring it home?

Thank you for your interest in our products. Firmware is something that you have to do yourself it will not be automatic. Cause for firmware to be update are high volume of failure and the machine is really old.

I recently purchased this camera. I fully agree with the success of the firmware updates. I tried a P7000 from a local retailer when it was first introduced but returned it. I can attest to the improvements being REAL and VERY EFFECTIVE. I would like to add I recently shot some comparison photos with my P7000 and my D300 with the 18-200 VR Nikkor zoom. I haven't downloaded to my computer at this point but the on camera screen appearance of the photos on the backs of each camera gives the edge to the P7000!!! If you find that hard to believe...so do I. I'll do more shots, download to my computer and report the results. I recently purchased this camera.

http://www.opendrivers.com/modeldriver/panasonic_dmp-bd75-driver-download.html go here for the only STABLE firmware upgrade 1.19. DO NOT allow it to update the "latest" firmware 1.33. nothing but problems. (this is based on what i have read from researching to buy this player, which i would be willing to buy now that i found the old firmware - i do not own this yet) UPDATE: i have also read that when AFTER you update the firmware, it resets the output to composite (lowest resolution). so if you are doing firmware via: HDMI cable, it may "appear" to be dead or broken once updated. so trying having both cables hooked up and after the new version is installed and your screen turns black, switch your TV input to composite and see if you see something now, then go into your menu and switch your resolution setting back to 1080p. then change your TV input back to HDMI. (i had this problem before on my HDMI dvd player, i was using the composite cables to an old tube TV, and tried the 1080p setting. everything went black and couldn't see anything to change the setting back.)

I bought my projector about 6 months ago and have done nothing to upgrade the firmware. The projector has run beautifully since I've had it with no firmware updates. You can see my review of the product on Amazon. I think the firmware concerns were with the models produced late 2011 and early 2012. You should be good now unless you get an older model or unless some new problem has cropped since I last checked.

Very strange indeed. I update firmware directly via internet without problems. Plus, Toshiba sends me a firmware update disk within a couple of weeks of every firmware release. Did you register your product? I think that is how Toshiba knows to send me the CD! I hate to suggest that perhaps you tried to burn the zip file rather than the extracted ISO file by mistake. I just tried to burn the ISO image and it, too, worked like a charm.

DLP: Like others, my BD390 quit playing many of the newer bluray discs a couple weeks ago. Firmware is current. After first discussion with LG support, I took the unit to an authorized electronic repair. Am told the unit is working properly but CANNOT be updated further to play the newer blurays coming out, despite firmware updates. Spoke again TODAY with LG support and they confirmed this. Was told there was NO upgrade available for the unit and that NO discount would be given on purchasing a newer LG unit! They were amazingly indifferent and told me I was "out of luck".......would either have to accept the fact this unit was ALREADY outdated for current and upcoming blurays, or buy a newer unit. I WILL NOT BE BUYING FUTURE LG PRODUCTS. DLP

Do not upgrade the firmware if you have no problem with the player. Many users told their players freezed after updated. You'd better backup your current firmware before upgrading the new ones. You may visit Samsung's website read it carefully then you may manually download the latest firmware to the usb or directly to your player from the rj-45 wire from your Internet router to the rear(LAN)plugin of the player or wireless to player. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/BD-P3600

I received mine a couple weeks ago from Amazon and it did have the new firmware. I think you would be safe to buy from Amazon because of their turnover you will get a fresh one.

Firmware upgrade are required. Some BDs have features that require specific firmware to access. This is one of the reasons I replaced mine. Least favorite player to date.

Jose,If you have the unit connected to the internet you should be able to go into the on-screen menu and have it search for a firmware update.Eric C

Yes, I've had one installed in my PS4 for three months w/ no problems at all. Just make sure that you download the "full-version" of the PS4 firmware and save to a USB flash drive. Unlike PS3, there are two versions of the firmware files (one for existing upgrades, and one for full-install).http://us.playstation.com/support/systemupdates/ps4/new-install/

Mine was working great until a few weeks ago it quit playing BD's after upgrading the firmware to the 169 version. No problem with DVD's. I've done the firmware upgrades to version 179 and still having the same issue. Nothing on the Sony website about this issue.
