    I searched for some style-errors:

    You guys totally forgot to say something degrading about Sony, the PS3, or the PSP in itself.
    This is NOT the Slashdot I've come to know over the years. :D

    Looks like Sony's new DRM scheme: release crap movies no one would want to copy.

    A year ago a 1Gb memory stick would have set you back at least $99. Now it seems you can get a 2Gb card for less and a shitty movie thrown in too! Seriously though, I wonder if this signals that Sony is going to dump UMD for some kind of movie download service. It would actually make a great deal of sense, and if they did it right would make them far more money than UMDs ever did.

    Yes, the PSP would be just perfect for watching movies, if they hadn't crippled their video player by making the maximum resolution much less than the native resolution.

    Of all the shitty things Sony has done lately, this is the one that convinced me to never buy a Sony product again.
