According to engadget.com there is an ongoing rumour, that Sony will release a new firmwarepdate for its PlayStation 3 even before Christmas 07 and will bring support for Blu-ray Profile 1.1.
After this update interactive features on Blu-ray Disc would be fully usable. Since 1st of November 07 all newly released BD-players has to handle the new Profile 1.1 "Bonus View" (HDTVTotal reported (in German)) and will become equivalent in functionality to the competing format HD-DVD. HD-DVD supported interactive content right from the beginning. Only the internet connectivity will be optional to BD-players. But this can also be updated later on, because PS3 has an ethernet port.
