Most notably this patch includes the BD-Live (Blu-ray Disc Profile 2.0), which lets users experience interactive features such as downloadable video content and games. BD-Live not only makes the PS3 a better Blu-ray player, but also enhances the PS3's interoperability with the PSP. This allows for the ability to transfer music and photo playlists from the PS3 to the PSP, and even use the PSP as a remote control for music played through the PSP.

For movie watchers, this update includes a feature that should have been there from the beginning--the Resume Play option, which allows viewers to begin playing a DVD or BD disc from the point where it previously stopped, even if you eject the disc and insert a different movie or game.

Additionally the firmware upgrade will include expanded DivX and WMV functionality, enhanced Internet browser capabilities, and additional AV settings. Of course, the most exciting upgrade won't be included. This is the "future capability," Portable Copy, which would enable movies from the PS3 to be transferred to the PSP for viewing on the go. While Sony has hinted that could eventually come to the system, we'll have to be satisfied with the other firmware upgrades included with the 2.20 update.
