Poll: Is Your Blu-ray Player Connected to the Internet?

Back when the Blu-ray format was launched, the ability of players to connect to the internet was touted as a huge advance that would revolutionize the way we watch movies.

As you read this, I should be attending the Blu-Con conference in Los Angeles, where I’ll be moderating a discussion panel with various home video studio and hardware manufacturing executives on the topic of Blu-ray interactivity.
