Ever wanted to watch a movie simultaneously with friends in different locations? No? Me neither. Nonetheless, you can do just that with HD-DVD's new "Live Community Screening" feature.

Pointless?

For films, yes

But once we start seeing those interactive pub games on HD-DVD this feature could work quite well. I guess you could have opposing teams in different locations.

Sounds like an interesting technology, but badly used in this instance.

It could get interesting if used in other areas, even something simple like being able to rate movies and then share those ratings with friends. It'd be like...dare I say it...social networking for films! Dum dum dum.
