Dude, before you insult people, check the facts.
Java also needs to run ON the blu-ray BD-ROM disc:

Check out the points #7,#8 (2nd and 3rd images).
This means that it won't be a simple matter to upgrade the Toshiba
player. The problems of the toshiba model go further than that. It
deliberately aimed to make a less capable device, one that is NOT
upgradeable.

Must be why Sony consistently is rated tops in quality.
"Sony trounces MSFT & Nintendo in brand trust survey"
http://www.joystiq.com/2006/03/30/sony-trounces-msft-and-nintendo-in-brand-trust-survey/
Forrester Research has published a new report that examines the trust
that American households place in PC and consumer electronics (CE)
brands, including the brands of Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony. The
results may be surprising to gamers.
In Forrester's analysis, Sony's brand garnered the highest marks of the
three companies (Sony also ranked 3rd out of 22 companies), earning an
average grade of A plus. Of the companies surveyed, only Bose and Dell
ranked higher than Sony overall. Meanwhile, Microsoft's brand ranked 20
out of 22 brands, dragged down by low brand trust. Nintendo's played 17
out of 22, pulled towards the bottom of the ranking by low brand
potential and low brand adoption.
