Sony divided their presentation in to two parts.

The first was a demo of BD-Live, utilizing the most recent extras on the new Men In Black BD. The first demonstration was of the BD-Live online content. I was a bit disappointed that, currently, most of the online content is download only, and consists mostly of trailers. As a PS3 owner, I found this to be not much different than the Playstation store. Hopefully, Sony will add some streaming content in the future. What I did like was that Sony has a monthly survey, asking what you like and dislike about the BD-Live experience.

Next, we were shown a demo of the MIB online trivia game. This was pretty cool, although we did about as well as the audience did during the Opening Session demo. We lost, miserably.

After the BD-Live demo, we were treated to a demonstration of some catalog titles currently undergoing the restoration process at Sony Studios. The before and after demos were exciting, and can't wait for these titles to be announced and released on BD.

This was one of the top highlights of the show.
