One would think anyone reading PC World would be able to download 
and install a firmware update with no problem whatsoever.  It's  
certainly less effort than downloading the software on their "Top 
PC Freebies" list.   
 
This article seems hell-bent on making a mountain out of a molehill. 
consumer electronics are never perfect right out of the gate, I think 
it's super that HD players can be updated for free, rather than the 
early adopter owner being forced to buy a new player to improve his/ 
her compatibility.   
 
These kinds of things should encourage adoption of HD formats, not 
deter it.
