"But there's a hitch: Current Blu-ray owners — except for those with PS3s — won't be able to access Sleeping Beauty's online features. BD Live is part of a revised Blu-ray Profile 2.0, which will start to appear on machines from Sony and Panasonic this summer. Players already bought can't be upgraded."

   


but its always been known that the players can't be updated except for the PS3?
I can update the firmware on my Panasonic Blu-Ray player


A firmware update is not going to be able to add an ethernet connection to a machine that doesn't have one.

There is at least one 1.1 BD player out there that does in fact have an ethernet port.  These could potentially be upgraded to 2.0.
