Highly Ranked

Xyzzy: elaborate for me. I own a PS3. will I be okay because of firmware updates?

Highly Ranked

Theoretically you should be fine due to the mandatory inclusion of a network interface for the PS3. However, I haven't heard anything either way, but I would be willing to bet that the PS3 should work fine. At any rate you should be able to play back the main feature without any trouble.

Regardless we'll have to wait and see once they release the new profile in the fall if any problems will arise.

Neutral

The prevailing wisdom on this issue is that the guts of the PS3 will be able to handle any changes, and that they will be easily implemented because it is a computer.

This is not true for the dumb-box consumer electronics, however. Those with old devices will have to buy new ones in order to take advantage of most of the features on future releases.

Personally, I forsee major issues for generation 1 blu-ray players when the ICT is implemented in 2010 which enables HDCP.
