I can't seem to register on the website. It first said that the email I typed in was already being used and so I had to make a new email. Then when I typed it in again it worked fine except for the fact that when I click on next step, it doesn't take me to the next step. It just stays on that page. Any thoughts on why it isn't working?

Maybe Disney's servers can't handle all the people trying to connect to BD-Live. It provides video, text... it's probably putting a massive strain on the servers.

It's clear the BD-Live network is, at the very least, a work in progress. It's incredibly frustrating to access; I would have expected better of Disney after all the hoopla they raised to promote the damn feature in the first place. The website is not accepting existing accounts - I had to go through the registration process about three times because they wouldn't allow certain email domains, or claimed a username I typed in was "already in use." The registration page itself is really poorly laid out, with all those cascading tabs. >_<

It should be indicative of how poorly the system is put together when I get this page after finally succeeding to create an account. I mean, "registerd?!" What kind of sloppy typo is that? :roll:

Then when you access the network there isn't a whole heck of a lot to see - half of the features are "Coming Soon!" - and what is there is so superficial and fluffy - and so very unnecessary. The design wasn't well-thought out, either; the overscan on my monitor cut off all the options' text descriptions on the bottom - I could see the icons, but not read what they were. I'm hoping to fix the overscan issue soon, but Disney's gotta be aware of technical problems like mine when they design a screen's layout. I guess not, in this case. :P

*sigh* There's a time and a place for interactivity, and that certainly is not while watching a movie. It really baffles me why Disney has put so much emphasis on this feature, when not only does it fail to deliver, but it's just really lame overall.

Well, I'm finally registered (took me long enough). Now I can't wait to see all of the coolness, or supposed coolness, of the BD-Live network.
