Blu-Ray 1.1 PS3 Update Before End of 2007

Later this year, the PLAYSTATION 3 will be receiving a new update allowing it to play Blu-Ray profile 1.1 movies.

On January 2, 2007, Sony is releasing Resident Evil: Extinction on Blu-Ray Disc. This movie is the first movie to use profile 1.1. It is supposed to be the most technologically advanced Blu-Ray movie ever as it will feature "true picture" and 'Blu-Wizard 2' which will allow your player to 'remember' your viewing preferences for the movie, even after you have ejected it.

For all those who thought that we would see demos on the disc of Devil May Cry 4 and Resident Evil 5, High-Def Digest report the movie will only feature PlayStation 3 high-definition trailers of Devil May Cry 4 and Resident Evil 5 and not demos as was first thought.

Expect that update before this year ends.
