Sony offers flicks on Memory Sticks

[Sprite]

It's probably a bit of a stretch to call this the beginning of the end of movies on UMD, but Sony is set to offer at least one other means of getting flicks onto your PSP. Starting next month, you'll be able to grab a bundle consisting of a Memory Stick and a DVD pre-loaded with four PSP-ready movies, along with a code that'll let you unlock and transfer one of 'em (just one) to your PSP. Available for your choosing are four classics of modern cinema: Hitch, S.W.A.T, The Grudge, and XXX: State of the Union, although it's not clear if you can buy additional codes to unlock all four movies. The bundles will be available with either 1GB or 2GB Memory Sticks for $60 and $100, respectively.

Sounds cool, how long do you think it would take for them top start releasing games like this? and how long do you guy recon before the hackers find a way to get all the films off the dvd lol, sony do shoot themselves in the feet sometimes. roll on MS-G

4 Movies and a 2 gig stick sounds nice for $100, sadly Sony brand memory sticks have slow transfer rates compared to the Sandisk ones. Downloadable movies seems possible in the future. Games too but as of now the onyl downloadable games will be PSone titles.

I can not wait to get me a copy of Front mission 3 ,Final Fantasy Chronicles, Chrono Cross and many many RPGs I missed out on. And Parappa da Rappa .
PsOne emulation will be worth getting a 4gig stick for...... ...say it comes with some games
