Thats actually why I got a PS3 to avoid that whole problem. Of course the added bonus was the console for gaming but thats besides the point. Speaking of computers sure your computer may not be able to run the software as fast as the newer ones do but hell you're still able to run the software.
I doubt I'm missing the point really never have I encountered a set top player that is out of date because new software features. That'd be like me buying a VHS deck back in the day and six months or a year later its like ohh you cant play any of the newer movies because you're decks too old.. But it can still play VHS tapes.. ohh thats too bad they changed how the video is held on the tapes.. sorry have to buy a new one.
I mean seriously the way the blu-ray people sound is exactly like a bunch of greedy corporate CEO's at Sony that don't give a damn about the consumer but care about the almighty dollar. Yeah you bought a player for $399 or more, tough s*it.
The last comment just begs lawsuit I'm sure companies have been sued over poor implimentations of software/hardware before and it like well you rushed your product out the door facing competition.. shows you how much the corporations really care about the consumer.

Get ready for another round of lawsuits if this is the case. I'd be PISSED if I'd bought a standalone for $400 then had someone from the BDA say well tough.. you knew what you were getting into. If I owned a stand alone I'd send it back and tell em they can either keep the player I'm sending them and send me a new updated one or expect a class action law suit.
