BD-LIVE arrives on PlayStation®3

PlayStation®3

PlayStation®3 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 PlayStation®3 users the ultimate interactive film experience.

In addition to BD-LIVE, the system software update will enable photo and music playlists on a PlayStation®3 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 PlayStation®3 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.

For a full list of the features included in this update, visit the PlayStation®3 system Help & Support section at au.playstation.com.
