The Blu-ray 2.0 spec (or BD-Live) is about to be launched in a couple of days and at the taking cue Sony has just announced that the next PlayStation3 firmware update v2.20 will add the new interactive features to your PS3. PS3 owners will be able to access downloadable video content, ringtones, interactive movie-based games, and lots more when the software is released in “late March.” The update will also allow you to copy photos and music playlists over USB from your PS3 to your PSP.

Some of the features are:
- “Resume play” will enable PS3 system to start playing a Blu-ray disc
and DVD at the point it was stopped, even if the disc had been
removed.(*1)
- “Audio Output Device” will be a new Remote Play setting, enabling PSP
to serve as a remote control for music played through PS3.
- PS3 system’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.(*2)
