Tired of your Blu-ray copies of Saw IV and War not pulling their own weight? Good news: You can now force them to give up all of their BD-Live downloadable treasures via a new update to the PS3 that went live last night: Version 2.20. Go, download away, see all the secrets they have to reveal! And then go buy some better movies.

If you've got more discerning theatrical tastes, the update offers other benefits like the ability to play bigger DivX files, Remote Play music with the PSP and Mosquito Noise Reduction (and just in time, too, the eternal flapping of their wings has become maddening). See what else you're getting right here.

New PS3 firmware to add Blu-ray Profile 2.0 support

Sony has announced that an upcoming PlayStation 3 firmware update will enhance the system's Blu-ray playback capabilities. Tucked into firmware update 2.20 will be support for Blu-ray Disc Profile 2.0, otherwise labeled as BD-Live. The feature enables certain Blu-ray movies to connect to the internet and enable download additional interactive content -- movie DLC, if you will. Sony notes that the update will make the PlayStation 3 the first BD-Live Blu-ray player on the market. Oh, sorry, the PLAYSTATION 3.

Other enhancements included in firmware 2.20:
  • Music and photo playlists can be exported from the PS3 to the PSP.
  • DivX and WMV files larger than 2GB can be played.
  • DVDs and Blu-rays will resume playback from the moment you last stopped them.
  • The PSP can be used as a remote control to play music on the PS3.
  • The web browser will feature faster page loading times and the ability to save linked files and stream linked videos.
  • "Mosquito Noise Reduction" will be added to the AV control panel for Blu-rays and DVDs.
The update will make its way onto the PlayStation Network "in the next few days."
