Sony to Make an "iTunes for Movies"

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the downloads-jack-can-agree-with dept.

dAzED1 writes "After years of complaining that the RIAA and MPAA were missing the boat, and should have embraced things like Napster instead of supressing them, we got iTunes and the like. Now, Sony has announced it will 'make its top 500 films available digitally in the next year' according to a report on the BBC, with Sony's iPod replacement being the PSP."

    Read the summary stupid, thats what the author said. Didn't mean it the exact same way as the parent implied they did, but its a very humourous sentance.

    With the iPod I can carry my entire music collection and play whatever matches my mood. With the PSP I would have to go loaded with multiple disks that I may be interested in watching.

    My iPod will let me listen to my music for an average of 10 hours. Will I be able to watch 2 or more movies on a single charge?

    First: In the future, Kevin, I'd suggest using another word in place of "gay." I'm not saying Slashdot posts should adhere to the rules of political correctness or accusing you of homophobia, but it is both juvenile and mildly derogatory to use the word in that matter.
    Get off your high horse, gay boy. There, I said it. Are you going to flame me as well?
