Sony launches movies on a stick for PSP

Entertainment Packs will feature a 2GB or 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo

Written by Clement James

Sony is introducing two Memory Stick entertainment packs for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) system later this month.

The new capacity Entertainment Packs will feature a 2GB or 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo, and will come with a launcher DVD loaded with four movies from Sony Pictures.
With the launcher DVD loaded into a PC, one of the four movies can be transferred from the DVD to the Memory Stick using an unlock code. This allows the movie to be viewed on the PSP.

Each movie is optimised for playback on the Sony PlayStation 3 console at 720 x 480 resolution as well as for the PSP. Titles available include Click, Ghost Rider, RV and Stomp the Yard.

The 2GB and 4GB Memory Stick Entertainment Packs will be available for about $55 and $90 respectively.

Sony has also announced 2GB and 4GB Memory Stick Micro media cards for use with Sony Ericsson mobile phones, Cyber-shot digital cameras and Handycam camcorders that have a Memory Stick PRO Duo slot.

The 2GB Memory Stick Micro media card is available now for about $55. The 4GB card will be available in November for around $90.
