Disney goes all BD-Live on upcoming titles
As Disney gets its digital strategy together, one feature to look forward to is BD-Live on every Blu-ray release going forward. ABC, Touchstone and Miramax flicks are exempt from the requirement, but that doesn't mean you won't see BD-Live titles there eventually. Sleeping Beauty will get things started, but look for Disney to highlight networked features in its Blu-ray mall tour and try to sell families on why they should even bother with networked features. Tinker Bell is the next movie up to get the BD-Live treatment, plus future Pixar releases like WALL-E. Unfortunately for online Disney Channel fans Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds and the Jonas Brothers' Camp Rock will not have BD-Live capability, but we'll be waiting to see where Disney goes next with the technology.
Frag Dolls, Seagate collaborate for game competitions, mall tour
The Frag Dolls have garnered the attention of hard drive manufacturer Seagate, which will collaborate with the Ubisoft-sponsored clan of gaming ladies over the next year for a series on online and in-person video game competitions, as well as a mall tour, making us close our eyes and wax poetic as we imagine being schooled by the likes of Tiffany and Debbie Gibson. The troupe will make three guest appearances during the apparently larger 'Seagate's Mall Tour,' which is expected to begin on October 19 at Minneapolis' Mall of America, hopefully nestled somewhere near the Lego Imagination Center. The girls will of course sign autographs and give high fives before 'pwning' their fans in gaming tournaments for Seagate-branded prizes, which may or may not be given out to the tune of 'I Think We're Alone Now.'[Via press release]
