How do you do software updates on a Blu-Ray player?

Im looking to buy a Blu-Ray player and some of the reviews complain about software updates. How hard is that to do? Is it worth the extra $50-$100 to get one that is already updated?How do you do software updates on a Blu-Ray player?
Manufacturers often create firmware updates to fix bugs or add new features, so even if you buy a player with the current firmware, it could be out of date in a few weeks and need a firmware update.

If the player is connected to the internet, then it will tell you when a new firmware update is available and ask you if you want to install it. If you tell it to install the firmware update, it does it automatically - just be sure not to use the player or press any buttons while the update is taking place - in other words, leave it completely alone or it could crash. If it's not connected to the internet, then the manufacturer will have instructions in the manual about how to get the updates - typically you download them to your computer from the manufacturers website, then save the update on a flash drive, then insert the flash drive into the blu-ray player and let it do the update.
why not get a PS3? it has built in WiFi for updates with out a cord and is 3d ready for the 3d TV's that will come out in a year or so.How do you do software updates on a Blu-Ray player?
Endeavor is right, unless you're talking about some of the older players that don't have any flash drive ports. In this case, you'll still have to download the firmware update and then burn the image onto a blank cd as an ISO image then put the cd into the player. The player will take care of the rest.

It'll take about 5 to 10 minutes to update the firmware on your blue-ray disc player. There is no blu-ray disc player that has all the software updated already done, as each new release of blu-ray disc has different requirements. You can not see the future today.
