Sony plans to update the Blu-ray technology in the PS3 console with interactive movie features played in the high-definition format. BD-Live requires an Internet connection and at least 1 GB of local storage. The technology will enable movie studios to offer downloadable HD content.

Blu-ray DVD features in the system software upgrade will include "resume play," which enables PS3 systems to restart the DVD disc at the point it was stopped, even if the disc has been removed. However, the feature will only work with Blu-ray discs formatted for the capability.

Other features include a remote play setting that enables PlayStation Portable to serve as a remote control for music played through PS3. In addition, PS3's Web browser has been enhanced to enable streaming of video files directly linked from a Web page, and the console also will be able to play DivX and WMV format videos larger than 2 GB.
