One of the promises of Blu-ray technology will be fulfilled Sunday when director Guillermo del Toro chats with fans through the Web-enabled BD-Live feature of the high-def disc for his new film, Hellboy II: The Golden Army.  While it’s not the live director’s commentary that I’ve long envisioned, this is still a major first for the format. Note that you must have a Web-connected Blu-ray player (such as the PlayStation 3) and the disc for the new movie.

Here’s what you need to know for the chat, which starts at 8 p.m. Sunday (central time), courtesy of Universal Studios Home Entertainment:

Step 1: Log on to http://www.universalhidef.com/ to create a user name and password, or log in if already registered.
Step 2: Once registered, in “My Account,” select the “Directors Chat” tab to submit up to three questions. 
Step 3:  Connect your Blu-ray player to the Internet and chat with Guillermo Del Toro.

Have fun!
