It is impossible to know the software version that is in the tv until it is opened but most of the older version tv's should have been weeded out by now except for a few straglers.
I have been reading about the various versions of software for model WD-52525. I understand the latest version is 4.04. When I ask the sales people which version comes with the set, they claim they don't know until they turn it on and since the boxed is sealed they don't know . Is this true?
