The graph of market trends was particularly telling:

Some dynamic BD-J menus that may not have made it to retail:

Big Fish:

Thanks for the info :)

I recognize the Open Season and Big Fish menus as being on the BD release.

I recognize the Open Season and Big Fish menus as being on the BD release.

I believe the menus used in the retail editions are static ones, although I own neither. The ones they showed us were very dynamic, with generated butterflies flitting about and stuff.

Open Season is a HDMV title, but Big Fish is the first BD-J title from SPE.

The menu system for The Prestige is very animated too. Not static at all.

It's also from BVHE, not SPHE.

The Prestige is a HDMV title, not a BD-J.

BVHE's BD-J titles are The Guardian, Chicken Little, and POTC 1&2, as far as I know. The former two are partly BD-J (feature itself and top menu are HDMV and some part of bonus material is BD-J), while POTC 1&2 are all Java based, same like BD-J titles from Fox, The Descent from LGF and Big Fish from SPE.

Chicken Little is also heavily BD-J authored because of the in-movie Directors' Q&A.

The goal of the studios (or at least Disney, Sony and Fox) is to have most titles with heavy BD-J authoring going forward as the hardware catches up to the specs.

Anybody know if the resume functionality will be implemented for BD-J titles? From what I've read, at least some of them won't resume and that may apply to all of them (I'm not sure at this point).
