Anyone know of a thread or website that has a feature dedicated to thoroughly discussing BD Live features of Blu-ray discs?

I don't think I've seen anything dedicated to it permanently. We've had various short-term threads here on the functionality, polls on what is wanted from it, etc. but that's about it. There is one sticky for titles that support it but it's just a listing. Anyway, most of the time the BD-Live functionality gets discussed in the mega-thread for each title.

Disney released a short movie on PSN that talks about what it's doing with BD-Live.

Nothing exists yet... but the idea is very promising. There is plenty of interesting ideas being thrown around about the potential of BD-Live content and I think that a dedicated site would be a fantastic resource. People could search by movie title (much like this site) and strictly get the information regarding its BD-Live content. In some cases (a la MoLog feature) it could even provide extremely well detailed instructions on how to use it.

I like Sony's description of it the best. BD Live is a feature of Blu-ray that enables you to access via your profile 2.0 Internet-connected Blu-ray player. You can download up-to-date content (refreshed previews and exclusive special features), ringtones, wallpaper, peer to peer interaction and live events and gaming activies. For example, there's the upcoming live https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=2056 BD-Live chat with director Guillermo Del Toro on November 23rd at 6PM PST for owners of Hellboy II.

Thanks for the replies.

Does anyone know if you need a certain amount of local storage required to use BD-Live? I have a Sony BDP-S350 and also an external USB memory stick with only 2GB of space, would that be enough?
