CES 2008: Sony Showcases 2 BD-Live Players


Posted January 6, 2008 by Josh

At the Sony booth, they are showcasing two new prototype BD-Live players. The Sapphire 3 and 4 will both be Profile 2.0. Sony also has indicated that the PS3 will get a BD-Live upgrade sometime in the future.

Guess that answers the whether or not PS3 will be 2.0 or not debate.

AndI was just going to post this link for him that says the same:

Icewolf, change your thread title to reflect PS3 2.0

This is so, so sweet. No wonder 1.2 million PS3s were plucked off the shelves over the holiday season.

From a source named Josh? from BD.com? you are joking right? IMO This is the equivalent of JoeSP saying it will be 2.0. Where is the press release?

Its not working, it shows the correct title when you click on the thread, but on the main list the old title remains....any mods able to do anything about this?

Yepp, and theyll only sell more. DTSMA and 2.0

When you edited it, did you do "advanced" and then edit the title. Looks like you just edited the title of your post. No big deal, just figured itd draw more attention as this is a great thing.

I'm so glad I returned my Toshiba HD-A3, and instead went with a PS3!

Have I yet to be wrong on the PS3? The only differance between 1.1 and 2.0 Vurbano is access to the internet and 1GB of memory. The PS3 has both. The only thing I am not sure of on a PS3 is support for DTSHD-Master decoding either on board with the Cell or bitstreaming (which most have said is not possible even though there is a selection of bitstreaming 7.1 channels over the hdmi in the menu).

Bitstreaming is only for legacy codecs. Yes, those can be bitstreamed and decoded in the receiver. Advanced codecs cannot and will not be able to. The only hope is for internal decoding. Whether or not we shall see. The DTS Master codec is extremely complicated. That is why it still has not been implemeted.
