Sony has confirmed the next PlayStation 3 firmware update will include "the ultimate interactive film experience" when it becomes available later this month.
Software version 2.20 will carry the new BD-Live functionality, offering a host of new features to those watching BD-Live-enabled Blu-ray movies on the console.
Downloadable content, such as bonus scenes, short trailers, subtitles, mobile phone ringtones, images and more will all be part of the new set-up.
As well as the interactive movie service, the update, which promises to enable both photo and music PS3 playlists to be transferred to a Portable PlayStation, will also offer interactive movie-based games to PS3 users, featuring both single and online multiplayer options.
Sony confirmed BD-Live movies will become available from next month.
