We're not so sure if this proves folks are interested or disinterested in Blu-ray-based
interactivity, but Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is suggesting its the former. According to the Sony VP of new business development Rich Marty, the studio's BD-Live network is just about to reach one million visits worldwide since launching
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story back in April. At first glance, it's easy to assume that one million hits is a lot, but without a real benchmark to go by, it's hard to accurately judge the impressiveness of the milestone. At any rate, we're glad to see that BD-Live isn't being implemented in vain, and we have all ideas the
interactive chat with
The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan will likely set the all all-time record for simultaneous BD-Live logins. Speaking of, will you be there?

Well, how many copies of BD-Live titles have been sold? That would be a decent barometer.
count me for zero of those visits :)
Let me see, during the HD DVD and Blu-Ray War, all the cool extra features, and just extra content HD DVD had wasn't a big deal to all the Blu-Ray people. Most all only cared about the Movie and that was it. I never got that at all since Extras are pretty HUGE for DVD's and why would that be different for Blu-Ray users?!?! Now is is Sony spouting off how huge this is. No me it sounds like worthless info that's pretty meaningless. If anything If it's only now coming onto 1 million, to me it doesn't sound all that big of a deal. Whatever to make make Blu-Ray sound more popular then it really is I guess.
