  PS3 Owners To Benefit From New Sony Internet Blu-ray Titles

By David Richards | Monday | 24/03/2008

New Blu-ray titles with built in Internet interactivity is set to be rolled out by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment on April 8 according to the Hollywood Reporter. This technology can be used by Sony PS3 owners.

The musical spoof "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" and the Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi thriller "The 6th Day" will be the studio's first two BD-Live titles. Their release coincides with the launch of a new software update for Sony's PlayStation 3 that makes the game console the first Blu-ray player with Internet connectivity, an ability known as "Profile 2.0."

Reuters reports that ultimately, all Blu-ray players will be Profile 2.0. When the format launched in June 2006, Blu-ray players were of the basic Profile 1.0 kind, meaning they could offer neither picture-in-picture nor Internet connectivity, something the doomed HD DVD rival format offered from Day 1.
