HD DVD Web Content
Posted by Chris Gohlke in "CONTENT" @ 03:00 PM
"Toshiba continued to press forward with its HD DVD format, saying Friday that it had added functionality that allows set-top player owners to access exclusive web content. The new functionality allows the player to download exclusive content from the movie studio's server. Once downloaded, it is saved within the persistent storage of the set-top player for access. Movie studios can also opt to 'lock' extras on the HD DVD itself, which then can be unlocked by downloading a key. Other interactivity features allow for the studios to provide ways for consumers to interact with content providers."
Basically, instead of having to take the DVD to your computer to access bonus content, the content can now be downloaded directly to your HD DVD player. I remember hearing about this feature a while back, but it looks like it is just now coming into play.
