I see some that are like USB ports, somet that are mini, some that are monster, some that are three color terminals bunched into one. I don't know which one to get to connect my Blu Ray to the HD TV.

It sounds like you are confusing HDMI and other video cable formats. See the link for pictures of various video interconnect formats -- in increasing order of image quality -- composite (Yellow RCA), S-video (round, 4 or 7 pins), Component (red/blue/green triple RCA) and HDMI (flat, 19 pin connector). Note that some formats are video only (and therefore are usually used along with one of the audio only connectors ... also shown in the pictures at the link), while HDMI is both video and audio.
Blu-ray players typically have several different options for connection to other equipment (e.g. A/V receiver, HDTV). Any will work, but it is generally preferable to use the one that gives the best image quality that your equipment accepts ... in this case HDMI.
Note that HDMI comes in several (actually 4, but 2 are common) formats ... for different purposes. All Home video cables use the larger format shown in the picture at the link, but a mini HDMI plug format is used for some digital cameras and camcorders.
Finally, note that HDMI is an evolving standard, and when shopping you will come across references to HDMI version 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4. They are all basically the same for most purposes (the later versions support advanced features that most consumers don't need/use), but given the choice look for cables that claim to be certified to "Category 2" against HDMI version 1.3 or "High speed" against version 1.4. You don't need to spend more than about $10 for an HDMI cable for most uses. See 2nd link.

What happens if older Blu-ray players can't do updates?
Dave
can you still watch new movies on them? i heard some new movies require an update.
why can't old players do updates? And you haveto burn the update to a dvd everytime?
Answer
Maybe. Maybe not. KungFu Panda is causing a lot of headaches now. I'm not aware of any Blu-ray players that CAN'T do updates, but I'm sure there are ones that are no longer supported, like the LG combo players. Most updates are performed by downloading the update from the manufacturer and burning it to a standard ISO-9660 DVD. Support for Profile 1.0 is mandatory on all Blu-ray discs but Blu-ray ( The BDA ) STILL doesn't have a "set in stone" standard and seems to be changing every 6 months. HD-DVD had a set standard from day one.
With the way the BDA has the standard ( or lack of ) set up, you will probably HAVE to buy a new player soon.
