Sony's PSP Memory Stick Entertainment Packs Shipping

Croakyvoice writes "Sony's new Memory Stick Entertainment Packs are now shipping in 1GB and 2GB sizes and contain a launcher DVD. The packs contain an unlock code and you have the choice of one of these four films: 'Hitch,' 'S.W.A.T.,' 'The Grudge,' or 'XXX: State of the Union.' Prices are $47/$77 for the packs."

You would spend $50 to $75 on a $5 bargain bin DVD so that you can have a lesser quality movie. At what point is this a deal? Especially when you can buy the dvd and rip it to a memory stick already... Oh wait wasn't this why the UMD failed in the first place?

At least it's on memory stick right out of the box now, so you can try to get it on your computer through a stick reader. Odds are it's locked though so without some cracking tool it'd be useless to the people who just want a no-hassle solution.

Here comes sony again trying to create a demand for something they think is a good thing to supply. Too bad nobody is listening...

Yes, the PSP would be just perfect for watching movies, if they hadn't crippled their video player by making the maximum resolution much less than the native resolution.

Of all the shitty things Sony has done lately, this is the one that convinced me to never buy a Sony product again.
