Turns out that the upcoming 2.2 firmware update for the PS3, which'll make it the best Blu-ray player on the block—isn't coming with the magic ability to transfer Blu-ray copies to the PSP, as PC World had reported. Sony told our garlicky cousins at Kotaku that Portable Copy (catchy name!) won't be included in the 2.2 update. Cross your fingers for 2.3. [Kotaku]

I guess you are happy.
*you guys
bah...more delays
Anyone get the feeling these companies just 'test' out ideas on the public through rumors?
Don't be so cheery about PS3 blu ray to PSP. It doesn't work with ALL Blu rays, just those with the digital copy available on the disc. Its on the Hitman and Resident Evil BD.
so is 2.20 out yet? all this news today about it and my firewall at work wont let me get to any good websites!
Sony says one thing, news site says another thing.. we believe everything.
On the PS3 note.. Still waiting for Home to come out.
Whew. This is good news, because I was really concerned that I might need to spend $400 on a PS3 so I could watch a $25 movie on my PSP. Now, it is back to my usual routine of watching an iPhone over someone's shoulder.
@Monty:
Actually if you apply for a Sony card you get $100 off your first purchase so you can get a Sony card and then buy a PS3 for 300 dollars. So...YEAH!
Hey Brian, is this better for you? Is the news of "Portable Copy" no longer TERRIBLE for you? Are you happy now?
Imagine the space that would take up if it streamed the full HD movie over. I mean since the slim can be hooked up to tv's it would be reasonable. kinda....
@daftrok: I work at a game store...This guy bought like 5 Xbox 360 games with a sony card and then told me the Ps3 is too expensive. Irony!
@Seiven:
Delays? How is something that is scheduled for the future a delay?
How can the even do that accoring to DMCA? I thought it was illegal cop dvds onto an mp3 player or something even if you own the movie.
awww shite. i just convinced my wife that getting a psp would be a good idea because of this and remote play, and then ordered one. now i have to actually watch my movies on my big screen, damnit.
