Blu-ray Gets Online Database
 June 24, 2009 — If you're a hardcore film buff, you're probably used to looking up information online during or after a movie, when the curiosity bug bites. Thanks to a new BD-Live feature, you won't have to use a computer to do it.
MovieIQ will let you look up the cast, their filmographies, director, and other production details. Of course, like any BD-Live feature, it will require a player with Profile 1.3 and it must have a broadband connection. A Sony executive calls it "the first killer app for BD-Live." He's probably right. The new feature will get its first support on high-profile Sony Pictures releases starting in September. Initial titles are to include Angels & Demons, Easy Rider, Punch-Drunk Love, The Quick and the Dead,, and Sex, Lies and Videotape. Sony also introduced a new Vaio NW Series notebook computer with Blu-ray drive for $879. See news.com and blu-ray.com.
