Does anyone know when it will be available firmware version 1.57 for BDP6000?
Still in this version do not play .mkv with subtitles!
I do not understand why support for the BDP5100 is better than supporting the BDP6000??

[kwinnie]

not notice we have that for BDP6000 as well.
but yes, if that's the case, I think that should be fixed as well... like in the other models...
