Next PS3 firmware paves way for web-enabled Blu-ray |
Ó
In light of the recent announcement of Lionsgate's BD-Live movies, the latest firmware update for the PlayStation 3 has been speculated to be released as early as this month already. We're not sure if it'll already have DivX technology, but here's what movie studios expect: the next PS3 firmware could pave the way for interconnectivity functions of BD-Live Blu-ray movies.
In the same conference in which Lionsgate made their announcement, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment executive VP Don Eklund expects that the new firmware will give the PS3 system a Profile v1.1 (PiP) upgrade.
This should include support for picture-in-picture interactivity that the HD-DVD camp already had for quite some time now as a standard. Eklund suggests that this firmware update would do good to roll out during this holiday season.
"We have an aggressive program underway to use network capabilities on our titles next year," stated Eklund.
Meanwhile, he also forecasts that another future PS3 firmware update could eventually bump up the machine into a Profile v2.0 for full BD-Live support, thereby upping the ante once again on the never ending format wars.

finally :)
im just waiting for the day we get in-game xmb. or home. or littlebigplanet . any one of those would make me soooo happy =)
this is only for multimedia fans... like me... but for hardcore gaming fans need something else for the ps3 in this update... but hey.. an update is an update... every update makes my day
PWNAGE!!!!!!! ;)
better than nothing
Another nail in HD-DVD's coffin...
This is just a gimmick. While cool, what the hell do you need internet for while watching movies?
I think you mean "couldn't care less."
Indicating you could care less means that you currently have some concern for the issue.
On that note, any improvement to the PS3 is a reason for jubilation.
What I really want is better emulation of PS2 and PSone games, dammit!
C'mon, only around 10% of all PS2 games are working, there are even community-made emulators for PC, which are playing more games. I mean, Sony has the complete source code of the Emotion Engine. Why is it so hard for them to make it working properly? I bought a more expensive console so I play my PS2 collection so please make it better.....
they made it clear that they will relaese updates to improve BC even tho they will be focusing more on improving aspects of ps3.
That raised my doubts they will at all. furthermore after releasing 40gig, i was almost certain.
i believ they still manufacture ps2s which should answer why they may not support bc
???????indeed...
I have the 60 gig version and there isn't a single game I've tried that hasn't work flawlessly.
Of course, the 60 gig is the best version out if you want to do BC anyways.
An abreviation isnt a word, so technically your phrase said "Another nail in high deffinition digital video disk's coffin"
