It has always been assumed that the PS3 would be updated for BD Profile 1.1, but it was finally confirmed earlier today by Don Eklund, Executive Vice President of Advanced Technologies for Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. BD Profile 1.1 (aka Final Standard Profile) allows for advanced content, such as "BonusView" dual-stream PIP content to be authored onto BD discs and played back on supporting players. Up till now, only Panasonic's BD30 player has featured support for Profile 1.1.
While discs featuring the new, advanced content aren't in stores just yet, a few titles due by the end of January will make use of the new profile. Existing Blu-ray disc players will be able to play the new titles, but will not be able to view the advanced Picture-in-picture content.
Eklund made the announcement at the High-def 2.0 Conference held this week in Los Angeles. The PS3 software update is due this month.
