can't test every player

The manufacturers need to keep their firmware up to date and make sure their products meet all of the Blu-ray specs, which have not changed, without exception. Yes, the PS3 is a powerful machine, but it too needs firmware updates, usually when a part of the spec which hasn't been used comes into play: SCE makes sure it gets updated as needed. There's no reason other manufactures can't do the same.

If the software is in spec, the player is at fault. So far, no one has shown that any Blu-ray disc is out of spec. The problems therefore stem from the CE manufacturers, not the studios/replicators.
