It's the old "solution in search of a problem".

I'd rather they kill the previews altogether, or at least put them on the opening menu so I have the option of skipping them. They fall into two categories: (1) pictures I already know about and will see/buy, (2) pictures I already know about and will NEVER see/buy. Either way, they're a waste of my time and only turn me against their product.Originally Posted by EdReedFan20
The one thing I like about the internet capabilities is what I've seen with Universal's Blu-Rays. Every time you put your movie in, it randomly picks trailers to show you. Usually when I buy a movie, I'll watch the trailers at the beginning, but afterwords, will skip them. With Uni's Blu-Rays, it's always something different. I was confused at first, when I put my movie in a second time and a different set/order of trailers was playing. However, once I realized what it was doing, I thought it was really cool. I hope more studios do this!

BD-Live is much too slow and cumbersome- every time I try to use it, it takes several minutes just to connect, then the interface is ridiculously awkward. I thought the 'record your own commentary' thing would be interesting, but it looks like Warner's already taken that offline. One disc I checked had a link to listen to other people's commentaries, but it just led to an empty box, and there was a message elsewhere saying the feature had been discontinued. (Don't know how it would've worked anyways as I can't plug a microphone into my BD player.)
Only decent use for it I've seen is to show current trailers instead of ones on the disc that get outdated later, but those should be accessible without even having to load a disc. I had one crash while playing anyways.
