Sony: We will include portable files on Blu-Ray DVDs
We’re not quite sure how this one would exactly work but it sure is sounding sweet and heavenly. In this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, a Sony official was quoted saying they are planning to include portable files on Blu-Ray discs that will in turn allow users to copy movies to laptops and other portable electronics.
When he mentioned portable, we’re pretty sure (or kind of hoping) he was referring to the PSP. It is no secret that they’ve always wanted to boost software sales for their handheld, and the Blu-Ray format is in a deadlock with Microsoft‘s HD DVD. So when you really think about it, this move is genius.
The Sony official we’re talking about is actually David Bishop, the head of the company’s Home Entertainment Unit. His exact words read:
Sony Pictures Entertainment will include portable files on Blu-Ray DVDs that can be transferred without a download. Sony may add the feature this year. It’s not currently part of anything on our current release schedule, but we’ll probably roll it out sometime this year.
Sony, our dear, feel free to take all the time you want and you need perfecting this one. But please make sure that the PSP is well in your heads whenever you think about the word portable.
