For HD DVD this might still be possible because of the non-existing CE support from multiple brands... but even then it'd be hard since Toshiba has released several slightly different models and now 3 generations.
It all adds up!

Bullshit a dual layer blu ray disc has space enough to fit any last firmware for a drive. Firmwares updates are quite small. With 50GB and the right codec (not that old MPEG2 codec !) there should be enough space left !
Single layer might be a different story but I think compannies should understand that in the long run a working sollution means more profit as a non working cheaper sollution !

Amen! You can probably count the # of Blu-Ray standalones on your hand.
