Head on over to the Toshiba site and grab yourself the latest HD DVD Player firmware for the second-generation players (A2, A20, XA2). The link goes to where you can get a ZIP file to burn to a CD. If your player is attached to the internet, then you can download the update directly from the player itself. You can also contact Toshiba at (800) 319-6684 and have them mail you a disc with the upgrade on it.

There’s no major explanation provided than the same “enhances internet connectivity,” and something about HDMI/DVI that was also described for the 2.0 release. All we can do is guess about specific improvements until Toshiba gets a little more specific about the update details. Just a few days ago, Warner released 300, which offers some of the most advanced interactive HD DVD features ever, including uploading and downloading your own fan-made version of the movie, and it’s possible that this update makes your 300, experience even smoother.
