Blu-ray 1.1 lands this month on PS3

By Cornelius Wilson on 12/06/07 at 10:47 AM

Wahey – more Firmware upgrades are on their way! Luckily though these presumably won’t be fundamentally altering the way the XMB works, so our games of CoD4 and functioning power of the disc tray will probably remain safe. Instead we’ll be getting access to Blu-ray Profile 1.1, which is already offered by the most recent dedicated Blu-ray players bought by people who haven’t worked out that the PS3 is a brilliant excuse to sneak in a new games console AND a high definition disc player into your house.

Blu-ray 1.1 adds all sorts of goodies that HD DVD advocates will no doubt point out have been available in their players right from the get go. Well, bully for them. With the supporting discs you’ll be getting features like picture-in-picture (now you can see directors droning on through the movie in a little box) and that’s pretty much it. Still, better than a poke with a sharp stick I suppose.
