 Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (or SCEE for short) have announced that system software update v.2.20, for the PS3, planned for release in late March, will add Blu-ray Disc (BD) Profile 2.0 support (also known as BD-LIVE).
This feature will offer the ability to take full advantage of interactive features, such as downloadable video content, ringtones, games, and more.
In addition to BD-LIVE, the system software update will enable photo and music playlists on a PS3 to be copied to a PSP, as well as other new features.
To access Blu-ray Profile 2.0, users require an Internet connection and at least 1GB of local storage. Movies with BD-LIVE are scheduled for release next month.
The following new features will also be included in the system software update:
Resume play: Will enable PS3 to start playing a BD and DVD video at the point it was stopped, even if the disc had been removed. Note BD-J format disc is not supported.
Audio Output Device: Will be a new Remote Play setting, enabling PSP to serve as a remote control for music played through PS3.
PS3’s Internet browser will be enhanced: Video files directly linked from a Web page will be able to be streamed, and the browser’s view speed will be improved.
DivX and WMV format videos that are larger than 2GB will be playable.
Mosquito Noise Reduction: Will be added as an AV setting in the control panel of the DVD/BD player for improved movie playback. Note: BD discs recorded with BDMV format are not supported.
