(Which right now I think is only the PS3.) I wouldn't be so sure of that, given that the most sold BD player is by far the PS3 :) Anyway, if it's something you get for free and whose storage requirements are minuscule compared to BD capacity, then be happy for it. It's better than having to buy an UMD, and it's a step in the right direction ie. allowing you to view the movie you just purchased on as many movie players as possible. (contrast that to iTunes/iPod vendor-lock-in, DVD copy protection, downloadable pay per view, etc. where the vendors try to restrict you as much as possible) >There are not that many people who own both a PSP and a BD player capable

There are not that many people who own both a PSP and a BD player capable of copying the content to the PSP. (Which right now I think is only the PS3.) At the very least, they should have an iPod formatted version too, as Sporty suggested. But frankly, I don't care about portable movies. If I'm gonna watch a movie, it'll be at home on my home theater. And frankly, while the other BD-Live/Java features mentioned above all sound cool, I have no use for those either. You know what features I want? The ability to get into a movie quickly without having to wait through trailers and warnings.

Sporty: if the PSP version is a regular MP4, it should work on iPods too PSP copy? wow sweet!
