Upcoming HD DVDs with HDi Network Functionality Requires Firmware Update

As we've mentioned on this blog earlier last week, the upcoming HD DVDs with HDi network functionality or web-enabled extras would require the latest firmware update. HD DVD titles taking advantage of the network functionality includes Freedom Vol. 1 (June 26), Blood Diamond (July 3), 300 (July 31) and Heroes: Season 1 (Aug 28)

Toshiba (America) has also reiterated the importance of the latest firmware updates (See Important Note of the firmware update notification) if you intend to enjoy the web-enabled extras without any major hiccups.
