Latest Update To PS3 Coming Soon

Sony confirmed this week that the lastest firmware update for the Playstation 3 - due in April, but possibly available as early as late March - will bring the installed Blu-ray player up to 2.0 profile specs.

Blu-ray 2.0, also known as BD-LIVE, will give users the capability to download further content, get ringtones, play online games, and more - depending on what a particular Blu-ray release has to offer. The new PS3 update will also allow users to run photo and music playlists on their PS3.

The first Blu-ray films with BD-LIVE features are due to release in April. Sony's last PS3 update, if you recall, added picture in picture capability to the PS3.
