I think this goes into Captain Obvious' territory a bit, but we're now hearing that the PSP will support file transfers from the upcoming PS3 movie/video download service.
Some "insiders" say that Sony is in talks to allow users to transfer films downloaded from this service, according to CVG. Why are the "in talks?" What is there to think about? You'd think they would naturally want to have their portable console in on the whole plan. I just assumed that both systems would have movie and video access.
CVG also points out that a recent Variety article mentions a Blu-ray-to-PSP function on the horizon. Again, I think this option would be a no brainer.
Would you watch movies on your PSP? What would it take to win you over?

But I still want the functionality.
Seriously? What's the problem? It's digital media and has to have limitations for distribution so that you can't just share/copy media files all around the Web. This means a method for limiting how many devices can utlize a single media file similar to Amazon.com's Unbox movies. Which then means tying in a media device registration component into both the PS3 and the PSN, with it tied to the user account. How cumbersome is this for most users? Will most users understand this concept? How much does the ability to view and store a file across 2 or more devices affect the cost? Is it just easier to just make it so that content can be downloaded to a PS3 and then streamed to another PS3 or PSP wirelessly?
I love you guys at Destructoid, but this is far from a no-brainer concept. The 360 doesn't have to worry about an external device, it's just the 360. But adding an external device definitely does complicate matters in regards to methods in controlling, facilitating, and pricing out the ability to store/stream media to multiple devices.
