No Bd-live???

[The world in blu]

I've had the Sony bdp-s300 blu-ray player for quite some time now. I love it but one thing I have a question about. Why is it not have bd-live? I know most players don't have it but I want to know, How do you get bd-live if you have a player like mine? I'm so worried that my player is out of date or it's just I got a bad player. Please help.

Sony BDP-S300 has no ethernet connection, so it is not capable of getting BD-Live (or true PiP for that matter). It is one of the earlier players release and is a 1.0 player.

You need a Profile 2.0 player for BD-Live compatibility.

what animeonblu said and also, BD-live isn't really that great to start off with. I have tried to download things from there and it ends up freezing my ps3 or taking insanely long to load onto it.

Oh so it's really not worth it anyways, huh?

I think it can be fantastic if implemented right. Good speeds for me.

I'd say PIP is.

+1, PIP is a fantastic feature. Forgetting Sarah Marshall includes two PiP tracks and both are quite good. It's Picture-in-Picture. So you can see behind the scenes, commentary, interviews, storyboards, etc while viewing the film.

Your machine will always play Blu-ray movies. It will never become obsolete. BD Live requires Internet connection so that studios can download junk. It is a marketing gimmick. I have PS3 and I couldn't care less for it. I love movies and the only thing I care about is watching them on my BD player. I do not want to waste my time with B.S. from studios. Millions of DVD players and VCR's do not have Internet connection, but people continue to watch movies and record shows on them. Just enjoy your movies and don't worry so much.

Not such a gimmick, Forgetting Sarah Marshall will include extras not on the disc via BD-Live.

Why should I care for the extras and why didn't the studio include the extras on the disc? There are some movies that have more material on their DVD release or Laser Disc release than the BD version. My only conclusion is that it is a marketing ploy so that consumers either buy a new player or buy a future version of the movie with two or three discs at outrageous prices.
