david.dakota Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 I'v had a really interestin conversation this lunchtime. Was peering at some bluray players- yet something else on my shoppin list- and had a discussion about BD Live. Now, i thought BD Live was a means to get extra content,but the sales assistant was advising this was a method to be upgradable like a PS3. It could be both, but just checking...
david.dakota Posted May 27, 2009 Author Posted May 27, 2009 so standard bluray players can be updated by firmware? I wasn't aware of this actually, thought only the PS3 was able to do this due to its harddrive.
McPhee Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 If a BD player is Blu-Ray Live compatable then you can upgrade the firmware over the internet. I believe that's what you're asking? BD Live isn't anything to do with these updates, but having it means the player has the necessary hardware in place to do the update. BD Live itself is extra content, special features etc.
RoadKill Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 All this confusion is due to the fact Blu-ray was a half baked standard to start with
