Ahhh, popcorn. The reason why we are so patient of our beloved S30x's.

I thought about making 120 the max threshold, but there are lots of factors to consider. Things like the load times people are accustomed to because of experience with DVD, PS3, and other players which were faster out the gate.

I asked for the opinion of a friend who even cares to speculate on these things. He doesn't even own blu-ray but he appreciates how I feel about it. We agreed 90 seconds would be acceptable by most people.

I could change it to 120 seconds, but the point of this thread is the hopes the studios see it and are cautious to create BD-J within the tolerable threshold. It's bad enough we have to sit through the previews, don't make us sit through bloat-code loading up.
