Every device of the complexity of an HD DVD or Blu Ray player will have issues. That's why they are firmware upgradable in the first place.
In some ways Blu Ray should have more problems than HD DVD simply because there are more players from more manufacturers. More implementations of the same spec mean more bugs are likely to crop up. Though in truth it appears to be specific manufacturers such as Samsung who are having the most problems.

C'mon, BD has its fair share of issues too, but I really feel sorry for the HD guys with this one!
