And after all that, it wouldn't accept my info. I don't know why and I don't care. I will not bother registering it. It's simply too time consuming. The juice just isn't worth the squeeze. What a way to drive a wedge into an evening! My wife told me that if I wanted to go through that excercise again I should probably do it early in the morning before everyone is up. Why couldn't they have waited a couple of years until they could get it working properly? It seems very "unhollywood" to release such a half-baked product (Ishtar excluded  I can't help but think that this kind of experience would put people off of the whole thing, making the days of BD Live numbered. What a shame. |
Maybe you should have started with Disney's implementation of BD Live. It is several magnitudes better than the crappy Sony one you were dealing with. But I've had zero issues with any of the various BD Live implementations. Either you picked an unfortunate time when Sony was having server issues or your problem springs from user error.
