I'm with John on this one: I won't buy a system that isn't firmware upgradeable ever in the future. Basically both of us went through some minor, but highly irritating problems with the 1070 and Outlaw pecorrectly it with amazing speed (i.e. a little over a week). If the firmware update ability wasn't there it would have been something you'd need to send back in to the factory and would have been a huge pain. As it was it was just a few irritating hours of unplugging everything, wrestling it over to the computer, updating, and then reinstalling.
