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.

and how's that different from apples i-tunes?

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)
