http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/cheatedBD300owners/ In February of 2009, LG Electronics released a firmware update for their BD300 blu-ray player, which has prevented many owners from being able to play DVDs and blu-ray discs properly. Problems include constant skipping during playback, while some have lost the ability to playback movies altogether. It has been nearly three months since this now notorious firmware update has been released and we are still waiting for a fix. LG's response has been to require us to pay $70 to have the unit repaired for a problem they have created. This is simply unacceptable and LG should produce a fixed software update, or repair the BD300 units free-of-charge. If you are a victim of this firmware, please sign this petition to let your voice be heard!

I\'m having the same issue with my BD300.

I am very upset that my player has stopped working due to a firmware update. Even more upset the the fix can not be done with another update. Even more that I have to pay $70 for your error. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/cheatedBD300owners/#sig5940781 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/cheatedBD300owners/#sig5930262 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/cheatedBD300owners/#sig5923871 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition because I am wasting my time trying to download a solution and not enjoying watching my dvds! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/cheatedBD300owners/#sig5922647 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST It\'s not so much the ineptitude of LG and not testing a firmware update on hardware before release but the fact that LG doesn\'t give a sh... http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/cheatedBD300owners/#sig5913919 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I support this petition.

Actually, I\'ve had to send my BD300 back before when the February update broke the player, and it appears that the new firmware update does the same as it just died. Is this how LG forces product upgrades? Well I\'ll never buy another LG product again, period!
