Sony Pictures on Blu-ray to include digital copies for PSP

In case you’ve backed yourself into a mental corner, forgetting that Sony has more businesses than just PlayStation, then snap out of it. The massive conglomerate has many, many other businesses under that big colorful umbrella and they’re showing some corporate synergy with this latest offering. Select Sony Pictures releases on Blu-ray will include a digital copy of the same movie that you can transfer to your PSP.
The transfer can only be made using the PlayStation 3 Blu-ray drive. Furthermore, the digital copy will work only with the PSP. “This latest enhancement to Blu-ray and Digital Copy demonstrates the versatility of the format and its ability to deliver a multi-platform video experience,” said Rich Marty, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment VP for new biz-dev. “It also showcases the unique advantage that the PlayStation 3 brings to the Blu-ray consumer.”
First on the Blu-ray movies listed with the offer will be the release of the Godzilla and The Ugly Truth catalog on Novermber 10th. The Ugly Truth, fortunately, will include a DVD carrying a regular copy of the movie in addition to the Blu-ray and the PSP-only copies. That copy will work on your other media devices.
An enticing concept – get Blu-ray for home, plus a digital copy for portable. For now, the offer is limited to Sony Pictures releases, but it would be much cooler if Sony got other studios to pitch in, or if they included titles on the Video Store to the mix.
