The only issue I see with this is that when your player is attached to the internet, it can update it self to remove DVD keys that "they" deemed to be compromised. Depending on how things work, this could prevent you from playing your legally purchased DVDs on your legally purchased player.

If you are *really* concerned about that you should use a firewall that precludes that device from contacting any address you don't explicitly approve.

I think it's a non-issue but the truly paranoid should probably stay away from internet connected anything.

Why didn't LG simply upgrade the software for the new streaming services??

BluRay is a transitional technology soon to be replaced by high capacity (2 terabyte) SD chips and broadband downloads. Iy is simply a better business model.
