ENABLE COMMENTS !!!

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment today kicked off its CES assault by highlighting a slew of planned BD-Live interactive features coming to Blu-ray in 2008.

During a Blu-ray interactivity demo currently underway on the show floor, Sony has unveiled a series of interactive features that will mark the studio's full-fledged support of the format's BD-Live networking capabilities.

Among the features previewed is one that would allow viewers to send ringtones to their mobile phone, including content directly from the movie itself (such as an audio excerpt or line of dialogue).

The studio said it is also planning select Blu-ray titles that would included a version of the film encoded for its PSP handheld gaming device, making for portable movies, though it stopped short of naming specific titles or street dates.

Also highlighted was Sony's first BD-Live interactive game to be playable across a network, a trivia challenge from the upcoming 2008 release of 'Men in Black' (release date TBA).

Finally, Sony says it also plans in 2008 to make additional exclusive content available on select future Blu-ray titles via BD-Live.

We'll continue to keep you posted of further Sony announcements as CES continues...

is it just me or should BD have been doing this since the beginning? HD DVD was already this versatile on its release like 20 months ago. WHY did HD DVD lose, people who invested money in their players now wouldnt have to replace them with an HD DVD 2.0 now. THough they do have to replace their players with BD players LOL. R.I.P. HD DVD. Im just lucky Ive got a PS3 and hadnt bought the HD addon for my 360 yet, i was considering it when i heard the sad news.

I love this video, Jeramy certainly looks uneasy when Veronica asks won't this push up prices and nice demo of BD Live that doesn't fully work. Doesn't bode well does it!
