"...that getting rid of the numerous previews on discs to mimic the "just watch the content, already" performance of streams would be a good start. Prioritize that above including more BD-Live "features", please..."
I've never read truer words on my computer screen, ever.
I love Blu-ray and I want it to succeed but...
I'm becoming increasingly livid at PAYING for a movie on DVD and being FORCED to watch trailers, adverts for theme parks, disclaimers and (once novel) but now annoying and convoluted menus, before being even given the opportunity to play the damn thing.
And BD-Live? I couldn't care less.
I far more enjoy DVDs that I've ripped because they have the movie only and I can get to them immediately.
Agree completely. Get rid of the additional crap and definitely get rid of the unskippable shit you're forced to go through before watching the bit that actually bight them damned disk for in the first place..
