The first HD DVD HDi online features were pretty meager, too. Here's hoping that BD-Live gets to the point where HDi was before HD DVD's death and even exceeds it sooner rather than later - some really cool things are possible with online features as we saw from some of the final HD DVD titles.

I wonder how you'd go about attaching peripherals if necessary for the BD-Live content? i.e. I think Saw IV has a BD-Live blogging feature, how do you do that on standalones? A remote would be way too cumbersome. I'm not sure which (if any) standalones have USB or wireless support for peripherals... (EDIT: The Sony S550 apparently has a USB port, hopefully the BD50 will as well).
