RE: Failure rate for Blu-ray

The BR format update concerns the addition of interactive features and has nothing to do with a player's ability to play a movie released with new technical features, interactive or audio. All players have the ability to flash their firmware to add certain upgrades, but this may not include some or all of the interactive features. PS3 has firmware to add features for SACD and additional Blue Ray high resolution audio to existing players. Some new PS3 players have removed the SACD playback feature. A few producers held back releasing their films in BR until the recent interactive standard was released. This was to make sure their releases worked as intended in players that were actually available to the public.
