Does anybody know what this upgrade changes ? Anybody tried it yet ?
I`m worried that it will remove the multi-region hack.

Yeah, I realised after I`d posted that might be the case.
The `official` line is that it will enable the `900 to play some of the troublesome new releases.
My advice is don`t upgrade for the sake of it. Sampo-clone player owners (eg Encore, Afreey) nearly got caught out by this one - thanks to some quick-witted American friends, everyone tried to avoid upgrading to the new firmware, or if it came pre-installed backward-flashed to earlier firmware to retain the loopholes. Mind you, Sampo were under intense scrutiny by the MPAA at the time...
