Anyone know what improvement to the BD-ROM is offered with this FW upgrade??? It would be nice if Panasonic was a little more specific.

With your Panasonic contacts, any ideas what FW 2.5 improved on the BD80 as far as playability goes???

There has been only one BD disc from Net Flix that wouldn't play. I even got a second copy with the same issue. I'm guessing the FW improvement is for a few titles that don't play but wondered if anything else has been improved such as loading speed, etc.

Sorry, no ideas on this one, and my main Panasonic contact is on the road right now. IF I hear anything I will let you know.
