Today, Sony demonstrated that you will eventually be able to slide a Blu-ray disc into your PlayStation 3 console and copy it to either your PlayStation Portable or a memory stick.
"This way, you can have a portable copy you can take with you," explains David Bishop, who is the President of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. "There was always the promise of greater interactivity. You'll see that coming in the new year," Bishop added.
Sony also demonstrated for the audience how you can now copy and download media such as ringtones to a BD Live player. They used Men In Black for this demonstration.
BD Live has been one of Sony’s bigger headline catchers at CES 2008. With Panasonic announcing the BD Live player yesterday and Fox presenting an Alien Vs Predator multiplayer game at the Blu-ray Disc Association’s booth, it has caused a nice stir for the Sony camp.
Sony also revealed a Men In Black interactive trivia game which was being played by two different people on a PlayStation 3 in two different locations.

This talks more about other stuff than the title, slightly informing in general but not really. Probably copied and pasted.

Great Idea! I like this idea much better than MS idea of movie download only approach. It only takes one faulty harddrive and then all of your movies are into oblivion. This is much better...you have a hardcopy that looks good on your shelf....and you can transport on a memory stick...awesome!

you know what I find interesting? BluRay Discs are BD-Roms. Not BRD's but BDR's. That's different. LOL. It's nice to see companies starting to make some sense. Why shouldn't we be allowed to make legal copies of our media? It doesn't make sense if you have, say a dvd at home. Then you want to take one with you, but leave the original at home so it doesn't get ruined. On top of that you own a PSP and you want to play it on there too. You shouldn't have to buy 3 copies of the same d**n thing.

That'd be an awesome feature...requiring most people with PSPs to upgrade their memory sticks.

It would also be nice if you could use these copied Blu-ray movies on my ipod also.

best idea ever, even more of a reason to have both the ps3 and the psp. i don't know of another 2 gaming systems that interacted so well together. it's amazing.
