Web-enabled Blu-ray movies from Lionsgate this January |
Ó
Lionsgate will be the first studio to be rolling out web-enabled Blu-ray discs come January of next year. This is despite the fact that there are still no Blu-ray players out there that can support the online networking functions of the BD-Live discs. Yet.Regardless, Lionsgate will still be releasing BD-Live movies next month, in the form of War on January 1 and Saw 4 on January 22. War will include a web-based game that allows users to hook up with other people online for a battle, while Saw 4 was revealed to include some form of web sharing of content (the details of which haven't been specified).
Prior to this, the only other movies confirmed to support BD-Live connectivity are Sleeping Beauty and National Treasure, which will be released later next year.
With regards to hardware supporting the said BD-Live feature, it's going to be none other than the PlayStation 3 to be one of the first in line. Current Blu-ray players in the market (including the PS3) do not support BD-Live, but it's now been confirmed that a PS3 firmware update will be rolling out as early as this month to incorporate BD-Live playback into the system.

What does it mean if they're web-enabled? Does it mean that I can pay to download them off of the internet? I wouldn't do that. Too much hdd space. Or does it mean that the special features on the disk go online?
I would pay for downloading movies like the 360... but this isn't that... is a feature that the HD DVD disc and players have... just web enabled contents, for example what the article said... is a good feature really and more with the ps3 owners just to not be behind of the HD DVD in special features and the ps3 will be again the best blu ray player on the market with the updates in the blu ray player profile
HD DVd players hav ethernet and ethernet only. to prove worth while, hd players MUST have wifi. l shudnt hav 2 explain this time.
You can purchase Wifi adapters for an HD DVD player, but I have no idea how much they cost.....
