Blu-ray 2.0 spec future proofs the PS3

With the upcoming 2.0 player profile Sony finally gets to play its trump card: the PlayStation 3, which has clearly emerged as one of the best Blu-ray players on the market—and is likely to remain so for some time.
Blu-ray 2.0 is the profile of the future, requiring the two secondary decoders, 1GB of local storage for updates and content, and an Internet connection.
Most existing blu-ray players won’t be able to meet this specification with a simple firmware update. This gives the PS3 a good lead for this spec, being the only player that supports it.
The 2.0 profile brings picture-in-picture and online functionality to Blu-ray discs; these movies will have “BD-Live” stickers on the case so you know certain features will require 2.0-compliant players
