i am new to this whole blu ray thing and have got a sony blu ray player and i keep seeing that there are new firmware updates. how the heck do i get these for my player? do i need to get them for my player? what will happen if i don't get the firmware update?

a firmware update is basically an update to the software in your blu ray player. this is a good thing because it may fix any potential problems with your player.

there are a lot of people that are new to blu ray and its technology and i am glad you took the time to update people. there are still a lot of people who are clueless to anything blu ray, and they want to know what the big hype is about.

yes, this is good information because i didn't know myself what it was all about. thanks for letting us know.

most of the time, updating firmware is needed in order to make your blu ray player compatible with new releases media. sometimes it is useful too to fix some bugs or minor errors.
