Well, at least they're coming around, however slowly.]]>May 1st 2009 6:44PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/01/star-trek-csi-blu-ray-boxed-sets-doing-bd-live-right-w/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/01/star-trek-csi-blu-ray-boxed-sets-doing-bd-live-right-w/May 2nd 2009 1:37AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/01/star-trek-csi-blu-ray-boxed-sets-doing-bd-live-right-w/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/01/star-trek-csi-blu-ray-boxed-sets-doing-bd-live-right-w/
Is that supposed to be good? I can't fathom caring to know who else in the country is watching the movie I just popped into my video player. Watching parties (with groups in different places able to chat or something?) sounds useful only for parents out traveling who think it'll let them watch a movie with their kids...but they'll soon find out it's nicer just to talk to the kid on the phone instead of saying something once every few minutes during a 2-hour movie. And sharing quizzes? What is this, Cosmo?

I can see the Trek folks getting into news on conventions and such...and being able to get trailers for upcoming movies from the studio would be nice (instead of having to watch trailers for old movies when the disk is a few years old)...but other than that, I don't see much of value in these BD-Live features. Eventually, it's all just going to boil down to links to stores where I can be encouraged to pay good money for annoying/pointless movie-related ringtones and screensavers....so, we'll all be paying extra (features cost money) for the privilege of getting another sales pitch!]]>May 3rd 2009 9:34PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/01/star-trek-csi-blu-ray-boxed-sets-doing-bd-live-right-w/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/01/star-trek-csi-blu-ray-boxed-sets-doing-bd-live-right-w/
I just checked out the features on the disc that came up. And frankly speaking this is the best BD-Live usuage I have ever seen. I really hope that also other distributors will come up with features like this instead of boring trailer downloads.
