Before the game even loads, or when you choose to access the UMD game from the main menu, it says "Updating, Please Wait...." Then you are pretty screwed as to whether you updated or not. They will probably have a warning or something on the back of the game case, or in the manual, or both, that states that the game requires version 1.5x or whatever version is newest, to run the game. I think you WILL be notified of the update, but by then, it may be too late to stop it.

I believe this is true. The will most likely have the update already on the game UMD disc and will automatically update or prompt you to. I think it stinks, but what can we do but to update if we want to play certain games in the future.
