For future features on bd discs. Probably more useful when more 1.1 or 2.0 compliant discs come out.

On Java titles, you can use those colored buttons to bookmark your favorite scenes. This can come in handy when you have to stop a movie to go do something else and then resume play later.

If you've got a java title, let's say Ratatouille or Superbad, go to the "scenes" in the menu and you'll see instructions for the colored buttons and which ones do what. The green button usually saves a bookmark, the blue one plays from that scene on, and the red one erases them.

I am watching Superbad right now and it is kinda cool. How do I tell a 2.0 disc from a 1.1 disc. I have noticed that the newer ones I have bought have a loading screen, are those ones 2.0?

Blu-ray Profiles break down as follows:

The basic Profile 1.0 (also known as the Grace Period Profile) available on all Blu-ray models released before November 1st, 2007 includes neither a secondary video decoder nor an internet connection.

Profile 1.1 (also called the Final Standard Profile or "Bonus View") adds decoders for secondary PiP video and audio, plus 256 MB of local storage capability.

Finally, Profile 2.0 (or "BD-Live") includes those secondary video and audio decoders, a larger 1 GB of local storage capability, and an internet connection.

By formats, you mean profiles (I assume). The PS3 is Profile 1.1 compliant as of right now and since it has an internet connection, it should have no problem going Profile 2.0 with a firmware update (this is not officially confirmed as far as I know, however).

When watching an adult film like, " Pirates" or " Debbie Does Dallas", you can bookmark your favorite scene(s) and continue 15 to 20 minutes later.
