I turned on my PS3 today and saw that a new update had been released, and looking over the changes, it seems BD Profile 2.0 has been supported. This means Blu-ray LIVE discs can be played.
I looked a few pages back and didn't see anything on this, so I figured it was news worthy.
So that PS3... I hear it's a pretty good Blu-ray player...

Only thing is, I don't see myself playing many games on it. I can think of 3-4 games I'd get, and that's about it. I have alot of the good multi-system games on 360 already, so I am at an impasse.
There's my google results for "blu-ray live"

Oh. Well cool, but I suspect movie makers won't do too much worthwhile with it, a la the "change angle" button on DVD players. And it might be tough to teach the mass market that their new-fangled movie player can hook up with the intartubes.
But we'll see.
Edit: Oh wait, microtransactions. Wheeeeee.
For some reason I just felt chills up my spine.
"Download and then watch the 3 ultimate alternate endings to <insert movie of choice>! 5.99 via Visa or Mastercard bitch"
Just keepin' it real there.
So what does BD Live do for you?
1. Network connection means rich content available online. On top of the 50GB of delightful, superfantastic, console war winning storage that you get with a blu-ray disc, you now have the entire INTERNETS at your disposal as a content provider. That means that the connected events, regular content updates and dead websites cause the movie came out five years ago are now available on BD!
2. 1GB of local storage! Yes, 1GB of your PS3 hard drive (or 1GB of on-board memory if you've chosen to buy a third party BD Profile 2.0 player) has now been set aside for the above content as well as for storing informaiton like video bookmarks. This also gives you the ability to stop and resume a BD at a later time.
3. Amazing, fantastic, super wonderful BD-J content! Yes, BD-J is finally ready for prime time. Much like HDi, BD-J is a programming language that's designed to bring rich applications to the BD player. Just think, you'll be able to play games on your PS3, thanks to Blu-ray!
I don't see what the big deal with this is. I got an imported one on eBay shipped for about the same price as an "US" released one and it is exactly the same. It has worked perfectly with all games I have played with it since I bought which was around 3 months ago, if not more.

edit - with any other player afaik, you can't update to 2.0 you'd need a new player.
Rich.
As for Blu-Ray, the first movie I'll buy will be Batman Begins when Warner release it in a couple of months.
...and nobody really knew or gave a shit about that, either.
