So, what does one have to do to get 4.0?

As to 4.0 so far here is my feeling, said in conjunction with the audio and said with humor,

Rats- no video embedding here?

OH well, here is the video. I hope you get a giggle- whenever I feel like Im not getting things to go my way I think of this

YouTube- Charlie Brown: I got a rock

MODERATOR'S NOTE: An interesting (but unrelated) discussion took part here about the merits of 3D video at home. I moved it to it's own thread here for further discussion and to keep this thread on the topic of 4.0 upgrades.

Me too. My system just updated to 3.8.1 on June 3, I wonder why I didn't get 4.0? K just sucked up a lot of my monthly download limit with an obsolete update

The updates relevant for non-BR systems are contained in that latest version. 4.0 contains the same updates AND the required upgrades to support the new functions of the M-Class Players. I'm not saying a 4.0 will not eventually find it's way to non M-Class sytems (but it may not), but in the interim you are not missing anything. Anyone adding a new M-Class Player will get 4.0, so if you've ordered one, your system will update by the time you receive the Player.

Brief update: So, my dealer emails me that my new M500 player arrived yesterday. Today I happened to be looking at my system, and to my surprise this:

Your system upgraded to software version 4.0.1-8388 on July 1.

So it looks like Jim was right My system did update when my new player shipped.

[MikeG]

A few observations on the new player:

1) the new UI is much improved, really like the cover art next to the list view. Faster too

2) disc load times are averaging 20% faster

3) no Mac native conductor

4) I noticed when watching 4:3 video streched to fit my 16:9 plasma (lots of kid stuff), when i stop the movie the Kscape UI is stretched too. Takes a few secs to return to normal. Is this a new glitch? Setting I don't know about? I don't think it's a setting on my tv (elite 141).

Overall I do like it, and worth the upgrade considering the trade in program currently being offered.
