Title: Sony to Include Portable Movie Files on Blu-Ray DVDs!
Post by: Sidepocket on January 10, 2007, 05:28:22 PM

Sony Pictures Entertainment will include portable files on Blu-Ray DVDs that can be transferred without a download, David Bishop, head of Sony's home entertainment unit, said in an interview this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Sony may add the feature this year, Bishop said. "It's not currently part of anything on our current release schedule, but we'll probably roll it out sometime this year," Bishop said on Jan. 8.

do you know if mp4 is one of the formats? (For ipod)  It would be awesome not to have to convert every time :)   

then again I would have to get a Blueray drive and they are upwards of 800 :(

The guy that wrote that article (Brian Crecente) is the same guy who wrote a couple front-page stories on the PLA back in 1995.  He also dropped a bunch of my docs to Greg Carson.  What a jerk.

Or you could get the mega-shitty PS3.
