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.
