About Me
Long time gamer. Started in the 80's when I was a wee lad back on a Commodore 64 (it's a very old computer for you young folk).

I primarily game on my PS3. PSN tag is Kalakaua. I have a 360 and Wii, don't play them. Wii is basically used for virtual console and my 360 has been collecting dust since Halo 3. For some reason it just doesn't do it for me.

I think this is sweet! Just read a article from PC World about CES. Apparently the PS3 can or will be able to copy blu-ray titles to memory stick for viewing on a PSP.

!!!

I don't know if this is a feature others would use but since I'm going to fly to Taiwan in March, I was trying to figure out what the hell am I going to do on that long flight. Here's my answer!

God I hope this functionality is in by the time for my trip. Bonus is, I get to use my PSP! I haven't booted that thing up in a while (not a portable gaming fan, I buy the damned systems though like a retard).

Below is cut and paste of the article, here's the link to where I'm pasting from.

LAS VEGAS -- The concept of copying a lower-resolution version of a film from a packaged media disc to a portable device is not new--in fact, late last year, Fox and Warner released the first standard definition titles to offer this capability (on Live Free, Die Hard and Harry Potter: The Order of the Phoenix, respectively).

Sony today demonstrated the next level of disc copying. At the company's booth at CES, Sony demonstrated how you could put a Blu-ray Disc movie into a Playstation 3 and copy the film to a Playstation Portable or a Memory Stick. "This way, you can have a portable copy you can take with you," explains David Bishop, president of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

"There was always the promise of greater interactivity. You'll see that coming in the new year," Bishop added. In addition to the PSP copying example, Sony also demonstrated how you could download ring tones and new content to a BD Live player, using Men in Black as the example.

BD Live is proving to be a big catchphrase at the show: Panasonic announced its BD Live player yesterday, Fox showcased an early version of its Alien vs. Predator multiplayer game at the Blu-ray Disc Association's booth, and Sony showed its interactive Men in Black trivia game. The game was being played by two people in two locations on a Playstation 3.

I was walmart yesterday and saw that the Resident Evil Extinction DVDs had that sort of feature. It said that it was a special walmart deal where you can put a copy of that movie onto a PSP providing it met the requirements (firmware, usb cord, etc). You can use your PC or even a PS3 as well. This is definitely a better move than the UMD.

I like the 'non-douche bag' approach Sony is taking with copying movies.
