Despite the fact that the only BD Profile 2.0 Blu-ray player on the market today is the Playstation 3, Sony Pictures has announced that the first BD-Live enabled movie to hit Australian shores will be Men In Black.
It’s due to hit shelves on June 25, and is set to include:
“a BD-Live multi-player Interactive Trivia Game, as well as exclusive downloadable theatrical and home entertainment previews and a FAQ about BD-Live functionality”.
From that description, there’s not too much to get excited about yet, but we’re trying to get our hands on a review copy so we can see for ourselves exactly what the movie studios think BD-Live can be.

How many non-PS3 players would there be in Australia? I think they would number in the hundreds, if that.
