What about the blu ray player I bought last year? Will there be a firm ware update so I can have that too? My friend got an firm ware update on his hd dvd to allow 24 frames per sec..so I hope sony comes up with something.
If you bought a PS3, there's a chance that it can be upgraded to Profile 1.1 and possibly 2.0. Sony has not confirmed this yet, though--so it's still unknown. If you didn't buy a PS3, you're out of luck. PiP requires a second video decoder. The hardware just isn't there.

No, your player has to have the secondary video audio decoder in order to be upgraded to 1.1. Sorry.
