Name *any* DVD that *ever* needed a firmware upgrade to play DVDs

A standalone DVD recorder? Name them.

Did they need a firmware upgrade to keep the contents of the fridge *cool*?

Okay, name the consumer products you own that required firmware upgrades to
work correctly.

I'm sorry, is that wrong somehow? Does Toshiba have more that two
different models of HD DVD players, and do those players have more than one

I'm sorry, they didn't have to release a firmware upgrade after their
product was released just so it would play what they said it would?

You weren't the target for the firmware upgrade then. Why were you eager

No, Toshiba's a major player that released an incomplete product.

So that excuses them for releasing a product that didn't work properly?
