I have given BD Live a chance in the past but it takes so damn long to load. When it's finally up and running, the experience is absolutely BORING. <br>BD Live has absolutely no use whatsoever. Without it, we can have bluray movies start to play a 1000 time faster.<br>The people at the BD association should be flogged with a rubber hose for this crap.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kevon27]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 2nd 2009 2:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Poll: Have you been impressed by BD-Live?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/poll-have-you-been-impressed-by-bd-live/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/poll-have-you-been-impressed-by-bd-live/</guid><description><![CDATA[Amen.. Wall-E was the first time I bothered to try it out and what a mistake that was..  It took about 20 minutes (from when I actually started timing it) from the time I inserted the movie and got to the BD-Live Menu.  By the time it loaded up everyone was frustrated and just wanted to get on with the movie.  I guess it's the player?? I have a Sony BDP-s350 and plenty fast Internet, so I dunno.. I've tried it here and there with other movies but it's really just disappointing to have to wait all that time for some trailers and stuff like that.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DeadPlasmaCell]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 2nd 2009 3:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Poll: Have you been impressed by BD-Live?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/poll-have-you-been-impressed-by-bd-live/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/poll-have-you-been-impressed-by-bd-live/</guid><description><![CDATA[My Blu-Ray player isn't Profile 2.0 compatible, so I have not tried any BD Live features.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Spanbauer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 2nd 2009 3:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Poll: Have you been impressed by BD-Live?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/poll-have-you-been-impressed-by-bd-live/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/poll-have-you-been-impressed-by-bd-live/</guid><description><![CDATA[you're a lucky man,]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kevon27]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 2nd 2009 3:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Poll: Have you been impressed by BD-Live?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/poll-have-you-been-impressed-by-bd-live/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/poll-have-you-been-impressed-by-bd-live/</guid><description><![CDATA[I wonder, if I pull out the 1 gig memory card from my player, will my movies play quicker?

It's a boor fest, and SLOW and hell.  Waiting around for things to load up and happen, you just want to get out of it.   It's nothing like the Features and speed of HDi of the HD DVD format which was far better and much FASTER.   I figured they'd take some of those Ideas and go with it on the Blu-Ray format and expand on the Idea's but they haven't.   I'm wishing Blu-Ray went with HDi instead of this JAVA junk.  Is it to late to switch?    No one currently cares for BD-LIVE.  Switch to HDi and pretend BD-LIVE(JAVA) never happened.  <br>  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JBDragon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 3rd 2009 2:06AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Poll: Have you been impressed by BD-Live?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/poll-have-you-been-impressed-by-bd-live/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/poll-have-you-been-impressed-by-bd-live/</guid><description><![CDATA[Play resumption after pressing stop would be 100 times more valuable!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DVD4ME]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 3rd 2009 5:01AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Poll: Have you been impressed by BD-Live?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/poll-have-you-been-impressed-by-bd-live/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/poll-have-you-been-impressed-by-bd-live/</guid><description><![CDATA[I haven't even gone blu yet. Sure, I could try it at someone else's house. But I don't know anyone who has a blu-ray player that has more than a 760k internet connection (it's satellite). BD live isn't likely to ever be used where I live, even by the people who live in town that have cable or DSL that might also happen to have a blu-ray player. I don't think anyone gives a rats ass where I live.<br><br>Note how I've demoted blu-ray to a common word. With all the these "great" features that will likely never work here, blu-ray has too many useless features for it to be a proper noun*. And if prices for the discs don't come down soon, I'll completely brush the technology off as a dud.<br><br>*the "blu-ray" portion of "blu-ray player" or "blu-ray disc" is technically an adjective and putting "disc" or "player" still only makes it a thing; which only under specially instances, qualfiy it to be proper. And I'm sure more people wouldn't classify "blu-ray" as being as special as the Great Pyramids or the Statue of Liberty. FYI, the Statue of Liberty isn't the name of monument, it's Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World, so it would have to be special to have even it's nickname capitalized. Kind of like when you refer to God with a pronoun, even "He" needs to be capitalized.<br><br>Wow! I really got off track. But do you know what the real sad part is? You're still reading this! Why haven't you stopped yet? I finished my point three paragraphs ago. Now, you're going to mark this comment down, because I made you look like a fool! Go ahead! Mark me down! Let the world know how many fools can't stop reading a completely pointless rant! HA! HA! HA! HA!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Garst]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 3rd 2009 5:59AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Poll: Have you been impressed by BD-Live?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/poll-have-you-been-impressed-by-bd-live/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/poll-have-you-been-impressed-by-bd-live/</guid><description><![CDATA[Actually I just skimmed it, but it was still very easy to tell that you are a jackass.
