BD-LIVE arrives on PS3

PlayStation®3

PS3 system software update version 2.20 introduces BD-Live, a feature that lets you download new content for compatible Blu-ray Disc movies.

The latest system software update for PlayStation 3 adds Blu-ray Disc (BD) Profile 2.0 (known as BD-LIVE) to the system's functionality. With the ability to take full advantage of interactive features, such as downloadable video content, ringtones, games, and more, BD-LIVE promises to offer PS3 users the ultimate interactive film experience. 

In addition to BD-LIVE, the system software update will enable photo and music playlists on a PS3 to be copied to PSP (PlayStation Portable), 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 in spring 2008.

Some of the features that have been demonstrated to be possible with BD-LIVE, depending on the specific title, include:

  • A variety of downloadable content, including bonus scenes, shorts, trailers, subtitles, ringtones that can be sent to mobile phones, images, and more.
  • Interactive movie-based games that can be played competitively offline and online.

In addition to BD-LIVE, system software update version 2.20 enhances the PS3 system's relationship with PSP, enabling users to copy their favourite music and photo playlists to their PSP and experience them on the go. This new functionality makes it easer than ever to share media content between the two systems.
