Sony's PSP Memory Stick Entertainment Packs Shipping
Croakyvoice writes "Sony's new Memory Stick Entertainment Packs
are now shipping in 1GB and 2GB sizes and contain a launcher DVD. The packs contain an unlock code and you have the choice of one of these four films: 'Hitch,' 'S.W.A.T.,' 'The Grudge,' or 'XXX: State of the Union.' Prices are $47/$77 for the packs."
Well the real world usability of the 1gb stick *is* that you can put a movie or two on it, and very handy it is, too. I generally get two medium sized movies worth on my 1gb, as it's MPEG-4 and is pretty efficient etc; when I go home for the weekend (usually about once every 4-5 weeks). It's a 6 hour bus journey each way, so two hours of something good n' distracting in the middle makes my PSP worth every cent. The best things to put on there are documentaries (especially Michael Palin's travel stuff). If I set up my current machine as a mythTV box when I get a new machine, I'll be able to drop reencode stuff straight onto the stick.
The point I fail to see is why anyone would want to watch the movies released with this pack in the first place. I'd be put off thinking I was paying for the shit they release 'for free'. Utter fucking drivel. Release something decent, you pricks.
