Prediction: The Xbox won't age well as a console.

[Gameguy]

We have an older Vizio BR player that won’t play any modern discs. It has online functionality, but for some reason Vizio stopped supplying updates for it over 7-8 years ago.

Try playing a newly released Blu-Ray on there. The encryption changes regularly to combat piracy, and your player needs to be updated with new firmware. My PC's drive stopped being supported and I could no longer play new movies on there.

So it's not just with the PS3, but actual dedicated players have compatibility issues as well? Makes me extra glad I haven't bothered with the format, having to buy a new player every few years isn't something I want to bother with.

A bit ironic as it seems to just affect legitimate buyers, people who pirate would be able to find the media online without any restrictions in place that would affect playback.
