PSP Portable Copy may not arrive with PS3 Firmware 2.2

Can’t wait for Sony to finally introduce the PSP Portable Copy feature for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable? Well, neither can we. However, some new information has recently been revealed indicating that the service might not be implemented in the next PS3 firmware update. To find out more, be sure to check out the full article.

Everyone’s been talking about the PSP Portable Copy which will allow users to copy Blu-Ray movies from their PlayStation 3 to their PSPs. However, some new information has come up that indicates that this new feature will not be in the PlayStation 2.20 firmware update.

Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) recently contacted Kotaku to say that the upcoming firmware update will not have Portable Copy support. This new information appears to contradict previous announcements regarding the service.

At CES 2008, Sony announced that PSP Portable Copy will be implemented when BD Live is introduced to the PlayStation 3. When details about the PlayStation 3 2.20 Firmware were revealed, Sony said that the update will have Blu-Ray Profile 2.0, otherwise known as BD Live. So if the firmware will contain BD Live, then the PSP Portable Copy service would also be going live.

Granted , things may have changed since CES 2008, thus prompting Sony’s correspondence with Kotaku. Hopefully, Sony will decide to release an official statement to clarify this issue once and for all.
