I guess you don't have one...

Extremely slow load times by all but 2 of the current players. Mostly
caused by BD using BD-Java and then not making HW good enough to run it
fast enough.

Constant firmware upgrades. Almost everytime a new blockbuster comes
out.

An uncertain spec. Profile 1.0, the original, is still the most
dominant and all of the current 1.0 boxes cannot be upgraded at all.

That's just off the top of my head.

If it wasn't for the PS3 and the Panasonic BD-30, you could say all the
rest are worse than the $29 DVD players from China and be right.
