Re: Disney seems more bullish than ever on BD
I think that when Disney puts a movie on a hi def disk they want the option of you clicking on an Icon that unlocks a game (through the internet connection) and is released with your credit card number that unlocks a game that is already on the disk. More disk space, more to sell. They arn't stuped.

Re: Disney seems more bullish than ever on BD
That Dizz-ney wanker is only concerned about which format has the most draconian kopy-poofing! Well, he proably sees an excuse to charge more for disc interactivity that I'm not so sure folks really want. Myself, I don't think I'll have much use for connecting to the internet with a movie player anytime soon, if ever, for anything other than a player upgrade. I'm not crazy about the internet thang at all. I'm paranoid about studio spyware.
Rachael, the big disc cat! I used to be looking for Hi-Vision Laserdiscs & D-Theater tapes, now I'm looking for HD-DVD's and Blu-rays.
I survived the AFI top 100 Film Challenge! I've seen them all.

Re: Disney seems more bullish than ever on BD
Advanced interactive features, I predict, will be abandoned by the studios and forgotten by the consumers within a year. People just don't care that much.
Who can recall....
*NUON videogames built into DVD players?
*Edit the movies yourself and choose what cuts you want?
*Multiple camera angles? (only found its way onto a handful of adult titles)
All people want are flashy menus, chapter stops, a commentary (a bad commentary thats as fluffy as a People® magazine article), and the trailer for the movie (correct me if you "must" watch some of the other crap that they call "bonus material").
PS: One of the studio heads was talking about some uber-technology that will allow commentators to "draw" on the movie sports playback style. Now correct me if I'm wrong but DVD already can do that (and I have a copy of Men In Black that proves it).
"Did you know that more people are murdered at 92 degrees Fahrenheit than any other temperature? I read an article once. Lower temperatures, people are easy-going, over 92 and it's too hot to move, but just 92, people get irritable."

Re: Disney seems more bullish than ever on BD
Disney would love it when you buy one of their movies, and the game to play on a PS3 is already on the disk. You simply buy it with your credit card over it's internet connection and a key to unlock it is sent to you. You buy the movie and the game is waiting (for a price), but it is already there. No middle man, retail price sent right to Disney.
Garrett you will never make it as a business man.
You arn't dead until you read your Obituary in Variety.

Would work for PC's too. I bet Peter Jackson would love this idea, make a movie, put the game on the disc with it, ship it and have people ready to unlock it.
Could put both a PC and a PS3 game on a disc losing only 8 gigabytes of space at the very most, likely closer to 4 or 5. |

Re: Disney seems more bullish than ever on BD
It seems if they were so bullish about it the would announce some titles for the format already, even if it's as far out as September.
"If you write a story about a soldier going AWOL and kidnapping a pregnant woman and finally shooting her in the head, it's called searingly realistic, even though it's never happened in the history of mankind. Whereas if you write about two people falling in love, which happens about a million times a day all over the world, for some reason or another, you're accused of writing something unrealistic and sentimental."
-Richard Curtis, Screenwriter and Director

I really hope so. The added space on BD should be for more features or better transfers of long movies, not for interactive tea parties with Snow White.

Maybe not, but one with the Mad Hatter (and co) might be worth the effort. 
But I’m really in the ‘who cares very much’ camp.

Exactly.
A movie on DVD is not the sort of property like a home: worth more if there's more unused space around it.
BD still has to show it can fill that space with useful content.

Rachel, that's not being paranoid. The other Sony already did it, on CD.
