All Blu-ray players need to kept updated. Just update it & quit whining.
No they don't. A blu-ray player should always work. They are violating consumer rights by forcing consumers to find an Internet connection in order to use the device they paid for.

This is a travesty, a gross violation of consumer rights:troll:

the Playstation 3 isn't a Blu-Ray player its a game console that is able to play Blu-Rays. That feature doesn't define the device.

it sure defined the first half of that console's life
not really in fact it was a dumb idea to buy a PS3 as a Blu-Ray player because the price on them fell pretty quick and if that's all you wanted it for just being patient would have got you better.

It doesn't define the device but it is listed as a capability of the device. People in Timbuktu don't have the Internet now they can't play blu-rays on their console:troll:

it wasn't as wide spread as you'd like to make it sound. back then Blu-Rays were for tech enthusiast not the common man who didn't likely even own an HDTV early into the PS3's life. when HDTVs became common Blu-Ray players were more than cheap enough and there were actually enough movies to make the purchase worth having one.
