    Cool

    Really, they spent a lot on this BD LIVE craappola, ands other
    "features" nobody needs, you think they're gonna eat that?
    What about us movie watchers who just wanna watch a friggin movie.
    Iron man is 29 bucks, and while a great movie not worth that.
    You could shave off ten bucks if you left off the documentaries,
    gimmicks, etc.
    And I wouldn't have to wait two weeks to hit the lottery and finally
    be able to get one of the four rental copies in town.
    SHEEESE!!

    First, BD live is NOT a Disney thing, its a bluray thing. It is part of the specs for bluray. Second, the loading problem with the Iron Man disc is not a disc problem, but a server problem at Paramount. The server problem has been solved.

    Nobody wants BD-live? I don't think so. The response has been so overwhelming for BD live, every one of the studios have been forced to add more servers to keep what happened to Iron Man from happening to other discs. The studios have admitted that they highly underestimated their projections of BD live usage.

    I corrected myself, but I did so in a different thread.

    Edit: Here it is...

    That is all.

    I haven't even played around with it yet. Maybe I'll do so tonite.

    Pix, Iron Man was $25 when I purchased it through Amazon. It's a two disk set. AFAIK, that's the only way you can buy it right now.

    Still kinda high(not mr g's KINDA HIGH)
    Thereis a single disc DVD that is cheaper.
    The two disc is 29.95 at walfart.
    With the comic book, etc, a buncha crap you dont need.
    Still not as bad as Bladerunner, with its five discs.

    book.
    How much comic can it be stuck in a DVD box?
