Toshiba’s latest firmware update, available via download or mail-order disc, for newer HD DVD players facilitates the viewing of movie-related web content and reportedly squashes the chroma bug. Blood Diamond is the first flick to to enable web access and according to High-Def Digest:
Taken as a whole, while the interface is certainly nice and slick, there really is nothing included among these web-enabled extras that couldn’t work just as well (or better) on the film’s official website. The only clear bonus is that you can access this material directly from the comfort of your couch
By the way, I really enjoyed Blood Diamond (even in SD, via Amazon Unbox on TiVo).

I wonder if this functionality has, or will be, added to the Xbox 360 HD DVD drive.
