No, the only BD player I've got just has a built-in Bluetooth Ethernet
connection
Which means I can't connect a cable to my living room, I just have to
download all my Profile 1.1 updates on the Settings menu directly from
Sony's own network over wireless...

(See, that's the problem with PS3 owners, we just *can't figure out*
what all this "slow loading" and "no 1.1" complaining stuff is about--
Is it, like, actually happening somewhere, or is it another one of those
urban legends still hanging around from '06?) 0_o??
