sony-playstation-3 Touting the PS3 as the “best Blu-ray player”, Sony sent over word that the upcoming system update v2.20 for the console will add Blu-ray Disc Profile 2.0, which is also known as BD-LIVE. This will add the ability to take full advantage of interactive features, such as downloadable video content, ringtones, games and more.

In addition to BD-LIVE, the update will also improve on the interconnectivity between the PS3 and PSP, enabling photo and music playlists on a PS3 to be copied to a PSP. The console’s web browser will also be improved, allowing video files directly linked from a web page to be streamed, among other things. DivX and WMV format videos that are larger than 2GB will be playable, too.

The update will be available for users later this month.
