Bitch Blog online via BD-Live

Philip Wong | Mar 27, 2008

There seems to be increased traction on BD-Live (profile 2.0) implementations in some of the upcoming HD releases. Most notable Liongates' Saw IV with MoLog. The latter is a BD-Live-interactive Blu-ray disc movie blog function. Imaging gossiping and sharing special moments of this horror flick real-time with fellow Saw fans while catching the movie. While we're excited about this innovative concept, there is still a certain degree of skepticism. Like whether it makes sense to type long messages using a cumbersome virtual keyboard and remote.

In the final analysis, this is probably a good-to-have capability and is not a substitute for quality video and audio mastering. Until the studios sort out their high pricing, these enhanced Blu-rays are definitely not flying off the shelves en mass. Make them affordable and readily available and perhaps Blu-ray will stand a better chance against online movie download services. It's really as simple as that, people.
