Default Blu-ray Live Ads?

Is this a possibility?

Feeding live ads (or cached ads if offline) before the movie resulting in lower BD Movie prices?

I can see it happening but I highly doubt it will lower BD cost.

I see BR live as a way for companies to make money. Charge the same on a movie with no features. ANd if you want feature you have to pay for it. I don't know how this is going to turn out.

It would never lower prices, simply generate more revenue

Most of the BD Live money wil come from trying to sell you brad pitt's shirt and movie swag

I keep reading the title of this thread as Blu-ray Live AIDS.

It would never happen.

First time a studio does this, people would permanently disconnect the player's internet connection.
