Sony just release the latest firmware update for the PS3.
The major addition of firmware V2.20 update is the support of Blu-Ray 2.0 or BD-Live profile for Sony's console. That makes the PlayStation 3 the first Blu-Ray Live enable player in the world. First movies with BD-Live support are expected to release as early as the beginning of April.

Here are some of the other new additions that are included in firmware v2.20:

• The ability to copy PS3 Music and Photo playlists to a PSP system. We introduced the ability to create Music and Photo playlists on the PS3 in firmware update v2.0. Now you can easily export your playlists to your PSP.
• You can now play DivX and WMV format files that are over 2 GB. In addition, you can now display subtitles when viewing DivX files.
• Resume Play - begin playing a DVD or BD disc from the point where you previously stopped it, even if you eject the disc and insert a different movie or game.
• Use your PSP as a remote control to play back your music files on your PS3 without turning on your TV.
• The Internet browser now displays some web pages faster. In addition [Save Target] has been added as an option under file. This option lets you save a file that is linked to a web page to your PS3 hard drive or storage media.
