ebrossette,
The firmwares are specific to the region the players are sold in. The firmware updates, to my knowledge, are not swappable or upgradable from one region to another.

I bought a Canadian BD-P3600 player in Canada when I lived there. I now live in the US and am trying to take advantage of Netflix and Pandora Streaming. However, I have been unable to put the US Firmware on the player. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
