I haven't updated my Oppo-83 in *years*, and it still plays flawlessly.

Jack G,

I've had two firmware updates for my BDP-83 come automatically over the ethernet over the past two years. These updates weren't a matter of whether or not the OPPO played "flawlessly" or not. Mine has always played fine. Both of these updates had to do with compatibility for brand new Bluray discs that did not even exist when my BDP-83 was manufactured. I know some people who do not have firmware updating universal players and they have fits when they try to play some very new discs.

  Mine isn't connected online, so it gets nothing automatically.
  Yes, I remember the security/compatibility issues.
  I used to update the firmware when it wouldn't play a new disc (which was annoyingly often), but I haven't had that issue in at least 3 years. Have the studios (Fox-I'm looking at you!) eased up on that crap, or have I just been lucky with buying new BDs?
  Just curious.
