Good for them - these companies really need to stay on top of these firmware upgrades until the technology matures a little more.
It's also nice to note that as players gain functionality, the announcements of Transformers (2 different lossless codecs), Top Gun (also two different lossless codecs and a slew of extras that were devoid on the HD DVD) proves that studios seem able and willing to step up to the plate to make these discs as best they can as well.
