Default Anyone using BD-Live? Over 4 Million connections a month now

I haven't tried it yet on my Blu-ray unit, but apparently it is being used with over 4 million connections a month now. Anybody else try it? I just don't see a real use for it yet.

BD-Live scores 4-million monthly connections, and that's a lot of trailers

I've tried it once. I wasn't really impressed. It just downloaded a lame game for one of the first BDs we bought.

I guess it requires a somewhat higher speed connection than available here. I couldn't get the page to finish loading.

Was it as lame as the one shown in the Engadget link? It looks like one of those storied games instead of action fighting. I'm sure they can come up with something better than that. Maybe something like the quick loading flash games like pogo.com has shouldn't be that difficult. Actually, if one wanted to play online games anyway and still have a Blu-ray player, you could just buy a PS3.
