Everyone seems to be assuming this is somehow the fault of the Blu-ray format or BD-Live.  In reality, it's probably just the server(s) providing the content.  BD-Live is actually a much more powerful application that the scripting language used in HD DVDs.  There's no reason to think that this is somehow the fault of the format.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Vidikron (FU)]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 3rd 2008 6:06PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Walk Hard's BD-Live features get tested on Sony's PS3]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/walk-hards-bd-live-features-get-tested-on-sonys-ps3/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/walk-hards-bd-live-features-get-tested-on-sonys-ps3/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm still waiting for the stand-alone BR-live players to be released before I buy a BR player.

It was useless on HD DVD and I've never seen why it will be any better on Blu Ray. In theory the larger persistent storage (1gb versus 128Mb) could mean better applications. But in practice I expect most disks will just use it to download trailers and other stuff that should have been on the disk to start with.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DrXym]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 3rd 2008 1:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Walk Hard's BD-Live features get tested on Sony's PS3]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/walk-hards-bd-live-features-get-tested-on-sonys-ps3/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/walk-hards-bd-live-features-get-tested-on-sonys-ps3/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have to admit hearing all this makes me wish HD-DVD never threw in the towel. The extra content on HD-DVD was amazing from day one. I am a fan of Blu-ray, love the sound, picture and special coating yet it still lacks. People, bigger is not always better. Blu has had all the time in the world to get this right. I know most of you say that you don't care about the extra content but that's probably because until now all you had was a few bad trailers and some deleted scenes (they were deleted for a reason). Blu, the world of fanboys helped you win the war yet now you give them nothing in return. Since the competition is gone you just sit back and relax leaving the victory parade short lived. I guess it's politics as usual. Talk it up then never follow through. And just a side note. Next time you release an "exciting" new feature don't put it on one of the worst movies ever. Get your act together Blu. Go big or go home. What's standing in your way?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[litlchamp]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 3rd 2008 1:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Walk Hard's BD-Live features get tested on Sony's PS3]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/walk-hards-bd-live-features-get-tested-on-sonys-ps3/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/walk-hards-bd-live-features-get-tested-on-sonys-ps3/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hah..
