I mean there is no way they could fit all that information, the movie, sound tracks and all the other BD-Java bloat on to a BD-50.<br><br>BD-Java is the epic fail that makes BD-Live, BD startup times and BD interactivitiy SUCK so much.<br><br>I agree with Ken. WB is top of the pile for BD and Universal a close second if for no other reason than they have little if any CRAP front loaded. The only annoying thing about WB is the fact that not all discs default to TrueHD.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[WebDev511]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 19th 2009 12:30AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony Pictures to smarten up Blu-ray with MovieIQ, the "killer app for BD-Live"]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/18/sony-pictures-to-smarten-up-blu-ray-with-movieiq-the-killer-ap/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/18/sony-pictures-to-smarten-up-blu-ray-with-movieiq-the-killer-ap/</guid><description><![CDATA[Tell me more about this world view where a static database that can't be updated is better than one that can.  Who needs last week's, or last year's info?  Yeah, burn the info on the disc.

First of all, you're only offered information that the provideder THINKS you want.  I mean, when this is done on the web, I never use it.  And don't even get me started on sites that contain tags that direct you back to the site, instead of information you're seeking.  It's beyond useless, because I know what I want, and I know how to find the information and dig for alternate sources of information if I'm truly interested in something.<br><br>I'm not sure interrupting a movie to look at database information is really a killer app.  I don't know about everyone else, but once I commit to the movie, it's usually rare that I want to look up information while it's playing.  Perhaps when the movie is not playing, but then again, why would I want to research something from my player?  And even if I did try this, would it be something I want to do all the time?<br><br>The source is the old CDDB, which I seriously hope they're improving, because it's a resource with a lot of overlap and garbage based on the contributions by anyone.<br><br>Anyway, I still kinda think that BD Live is a solution in search of a need.  <br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[nick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 19th 2009 2:03AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony Pictures to smarten up Blu-ray with MovieIQ, the "killer app for BD-Live"]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/18/sony-pictures-to-smarten-up-blu-ray-with-movieiq-the-killer-ap/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/18/sony-pictures-to-smarten-up-blu-ray-with-movieiq-the-killer-ap/</guid><description><![CDATA[Drop BD-L.

God forbid you have to stop and restart a movie... it takes 5-10 mins just to get back to the place where you left off. I'd rather have a DVD and IMDB.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Eric D.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 19th 2009 10:21AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony Pictures to smarten up Blu-ray with MovieIQ, the "killer app for BD-Live"]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/18/sony-pictures-to-smarten-up-blu-ray-with-movieiq-the-killer-ap/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/18/sony-pictures-to-smarten-up-blu-ray-with-movieiq-the-killer-ap/</guid><description><![CDATA[I don't blame BD-J so much for BD-Live (Profile 2.0) for being so unexciting, but I blame content creators more then anything.  Even when HD-DVD used there online services it was not that exciting.  The most exciting thing that came out of online services with HD-DVD was with Harry Potter and the ability to Chat with others while viewing the movie at the same time.  Even that was pushing it since almost every person purchases a Blu Ray disc for its quality not features.  <br><br>Studios should focus on Quality, amount of titles released, and most importantly, PRICE!!!!<br><br>BD's are WAY to expensive right now and need to drop fast.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[hey hey]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 19th 2009 10:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony Pictures to smarten up Blu-ray with MovieIQ, the "killer app for BD-Live"]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/18/sony-pictures-to-smarten-up-blu-ray-with-movieiq-the-killer-ap/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/18/sony-pictures-to-smarten-up-blu-ray-with-movieiq-the-killer-ap/</guid><description><![CDATA[You know these money-hungry funts only want to get more advertising on the disc. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[shig]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 19th 2009 10:54AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony Pictures to smarten up Blu-ray with MovieIQ, the "killer app for BD-Live"]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/18/sony-pictures-to-smarten-up-blu-ray-with-movieiq-the-killer-ap/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/18/sony-pictures-to-smarten-up-blu-ray-with-movieiq-the-killer-ap/</guid><description><![CDATA[Calm down, little one.<br><br>Compelling extras are cool.

I'm surprised I'm alone in thinking that this is awesome.  I have had ZERO interest in any BD-Live or even special features on DVDs, usually.  But if I can pull that up quickly, while the movie is playing I'd be down.  The wife and I often will pull out a laptop while watching a movie to know who a certain actor is or look up something specific about the movie.  I would definitely welcome discs with this.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 19th 2009 2:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony Pictures to smarten up Blu-ray with MovieIQ, the "killer app for BD-Live"]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/18/sony-pictures-to-smarten-up-blu-ray-with-movieiq-the-killer-ap/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/18/sony-pictures-to-smarten-up-blu-ray-with-movieiq-the-killer-ap/</guid><description><![CDATA[BD Live is one of the dumbest inventions of all time.

But I thought the BD-50 storage ability was the big reason BD was deemed better than HD-DVD?  Now they want us to fill up our BD player's hard drives and SD storage cards. HD-DVD had it right when they offered Combo HD and SD discs for the same price as a BD only disc. Not everyone has an HDTV or HD player in every room. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Frankie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 8th 2009 11:46PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony Pictures to smarten up Blu-ray with MovieIQ, the "killer app for BD-Live"]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/18/sony-pictures-to-smarten-up-blu-ray-with-movieiq-the-killer-ap/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/18/sony-pictures-to-smarten-up-blu-ray-with-movieiq-the-killer-ap/</guid><description><![CDATA[The most impressive thing I've seen with BD-Live is with Disney movies just go to the movie couch or whatever they call it.

I have a better feature to add.  How about disk load times that match conventional DVD?  Unbloated disc menu systems that favor snappy access over frivilous eye candy?  Or, discs that just work, without continual release of firmware updates from player manufacturers to try and address compatibility issues.  Good job, Sony.  YOU won 'the war'.  The consumers, as predicted, are the casualties.  This is what money (from Sony) can buy.  Eliminate HD-DVD and deliver a self-centered, bloated solution looking for problems to solve.  Welcome to Blu-Ray.  The land where few home setups can TRULY take advantage of the format (with no inherent pic quality advantage of HD-DVD), content costs more to the consumer, players cost more, and in the end people are still snatching up SD DVDs at a clip that should make Sony ashamed.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bluray_schmooray]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 3rd 2009 11:50AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony Pictures to smarten up Blu-ray with MovieIQ, the "killer app for BD-Live"]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/18/sony-pictures-to-smarten-up-blu-ray-with-movieiq-the-killer-ap/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/18/sony-pictures-to-smarten-up-blu-ray-with-movieiq-the-killer-ap/</guid><description><![CDATA[I don't mind the bd live option and extras, but I do mind the sign up first crap.  I do not not want to sign up for Disney, Sony, MGM and who knows who does it anymore.  I just want the features I paid for.  I do not want to give my email and address so they can send me junk in the mail. Besides, my ps3 controller is not good for typing.  This is why I do not use it.
