PS3 Blu-Ray Playback Controls: 4 Colors?


Recommended Posts

I have been confused about this for some time now, hopefully someone can explain. During playback of a disc, the popup controls show 4 colors. I have no idea what they do. They don't do anything when I select them. It doesn't bother me, it just got me wondering. Thanks guys!

I think they are interactive buttons, you know like sky/virginmedia and Digital TV "Press Red on Your remote to do this"

Might be something similar for blu-ray aswell. The official sony control has them aswell for the PS3. Maybe its a nice feature that they have not got round to implement like the camera angles stuff, i am yet to see that be done in a movie with the PS3 or PSP.

I think you can set bookmarks in the movie and assign them to those four colors? I know its something like that 'cause I was fooling around with my Spiderman 3 BD one day and I think thats what it was for.

I was watching Ratatouille today and it didn't do anything, that I noticed. I'll see if the manual has anything to say.

EDIT: Manual gives no clues.... at all. :/

As Game says, the buttons are for placing bookmarks while your watching a movie on Blu-ray.

I've only got a couple of films on Blu-ray that support bookmarking though.

Beside You in Time the NIN disk has multiple angles for some parts... works real smooth actually.

I only really noticed it here the other day that the PS3 remote has coloured buttons... All our TV remotes here have coloured buttons for teletext anyway so I didn't notice it

They will also probably be useful for the interactive stuff on the DTT tuner that gets released here this year
