But it's Sony, so it will all be in some weird proprietary format that only works properly if you stand on your head during the full moon in a bathtub filled with cheese.

Actually, I've never used Apple's i-tunes, so I have no idea.

Yes, I like to watch my films on the smallest screen possible - because airplane screens are just tooooooo big.

it would work well for me, I have my computer hooked up to my TV, so I would just play the movies that way

I wonder what the pricing will be like. I know that Sony is planning on selling videos in Japan on PSP-capable cartridges (a la Spider-man 2) for around $20 for catalog to almost $30 for new releases. That's around the same price as a DVD in Japan for a much more compressed (and lossy) video.

Cheese is replace by jello (Lime provides best fidelity BTW)

Wait, is the bathtub filled with vodka? Because that might not be so bad after all.
