Sony to release movies for PSPdRD @ Feb 11, 2005 18:06 | 12 comments
The movie line-up includes titles produced by Sony's movie unit, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Movies that are about to be released on 19th of April are Hellboy, XXX, Resident Evil 2 and Once Upon A Time in Mexico. The movie that will ship bundled with the American version of the PSP will be Spider-Man 2.
Sony will use AVC as its video encoding format for the movies and all movies will use 16:9 aspect ratio. Unfortunately the movies will use "advanced copy protection mechanism" in order to block unauthorized copying of the movies. Pricing of the movies remains a mystery, but Sony has promised to start selling UMD movies also in Japan in April with Europe to follow later.

"Unfortunately the movies will use "advanced copy protection mechanism" in order to block unauthorized copying of the movies". Basically it is saying it is rather unfortunate unauthorised copying is not possible with the advanced copyright. Whats unfortunate about it? Isnt thatw hat Sony wants!!! |

Comment by: dRD (Feb 12, 2005 03:35) rdevanat: Having a copy protection on movies/CDs/whatever:
a) restricts "fair use rights" available in most countries
b) wastes consumers' money, as companies spend millions -- if not billions -- for these schemes despite the fact that they will get cracked eventually anyway. And obviously all development costs are always added to the prices that consumers pay for those items. |

Comment by: daemonzx6 (Feb 12, 2005 20:50) haha, they will probably use arccos or something else that AnyDVD can crack before anybody ever notices the protection is in place. |

Comment by: SiD_UK (Feb 13, 2005 10:30) There is already a conversion tool to convert movies onto a memory card to be watched on the PSP, I have an imported version and it works a cracker :P |

Comment by: neewbie (Feb 14, 2005 22:37) People will crack it. :-) |

Comment by: CHADSR (Feb 20, 2005 18:55) There is the conversion software which may work since you can hook up your psp to your pc and transfer data to your memory card but only time will tell. |
