There is no doubt that both Hi-Def disc formats are a work in progress, and the latest update (for second-generation HD DVD players only) from Toshiba keeps HD DVD's interactive content at least one step ahead of Blu-ray. This latest update will help HD DVD fans enjoy web-enabled content included on a few titles like Warner's Blood Diamond, which hits the streets tomorrow; the update also resolves a few other issues such as the dreaded chroma bug. Like previous updates, you can download it directly to the player (if it's connected to the Internet), or request a free update disc from Toshiba. Read -- Blood Diamond's web-content

I think I read that G1 players have web features enabled already. Someone confirm it tomorrow?

I can confirm that, I used the web enabled features on Blood Diamond with my HD-A1 last night.

I thought that HD DVD was ready from the beginning ;)
