This is annoying. I went through the trouble of connecting my player to the internet and the update isn't available that way (at least not yet). Now I'm going to have to waste another disc updating this thing (the other time when the previous update disabled my network connection).

I was told internet firmware update usually is a day or two behind web.
Besides, I saw at least two incidents where ppl bricked their players doing firmware update via internet. So, disc update is a preferred way to do it.
The new firmware fixed most of the known issues. Now I can truely enjoy my 5k and large collection of HD DVDs and BluRay discs.

You can brick a player with disc updates, too. Power failures during flash update, for example.
