Hellboy II: The Golden Army director Guillermo del Toro (and avowed Blu-ray fan, take that Michael Bay) is the first to connect to viewers (as suggested by a particular EHD ed at the last CES) and chat live while watching the movie on Internet-connected players November 23. Exactly how "live" the chat will be remains to be seen, as questions will be submitted ahead of time on UniversalHiDef.com, before the event commences Sunday at 6 p.m. PST, but an opportunity to hear the director's responses in real time is not to be missed, and finally scratches the potential for Blu-ray's online capabilities. Still holding out hope for BD-Live? Make sure you're close to your PlayStation 3 this weekend, and think of a different question than "Here's my 10 suggestions on how to make The Hobbit totally awesome" 'cuz we already submitted that.

That is a really cool idea, and could drive sales as opposed to rentals in the future.

Holy Crap. That's awesome. If such things were announced ahead of time, I would be more likely to pickup Blurays on release day as opposed to waiting.
Thankfully, as a dedicated fan, I preordered the HBII deluxe package and it arrived today.
...I know where I'll be Sunday.
