No one's forcing you to buy a new player every month.

So what? they're not allowed to add new features to their newer products?

HOW DARE A COMPANY TRY TO MAKE MONEY!

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> I see Sony's strategy with blue-ray. Release a new bluray player every couple of months that add some interesting feature and force people to update. Sony is smart, we should start using $ony with a $ sign

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> It seems like Sony is bullying people into buying PS3's
Seriously, I bet they made like 100 units of the thing for every store to have to look bad in front of the PS3.

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> I just realized something horrible.
This is like the "PSX" (DESR-5000 and 7000 series. Not Playstation 1. [www.psx.sony.co.jp] ) only it costs twice as much and doesn't play games. I'm sure they'll sell MILLIONS (of transistors) of these things.

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> Yay Sony!
Wait, not this time. This is just out now? You could get memory stick MPEG-4 PVRs for the PSP for a few years now from assorted unknown little companies.

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> @cduran02: They aren't really losing money as much as they are shoe-horning themselves into smaller profits by not realizing the full potential of their devices- so they're losing potential money.

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> I still don't see what the big deal of transfering BR discs to PSP is. Just convenience? Is it actually the high-def video, or will there just be a smaller PSP-ready file in the disc?

After all, what's the point of wasting space in HD video when the PSP screen does not support the resolution, and it would not even play it with the TV out.

Will probably yield the same quality as a DVD rip.

yes.

mustang

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> I already use LocationFree TV with my PSP as the player, and it's really really cool. Made me appreciate the PSP much more. This new thing doesn't sound much better tbh, because you can already hook LocationFree up to a DVR, satellite/cable etc, and watch recordings that way without having to transfer anything.

in5ane

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> It's funny that this came up ... Sony just sent me a survey focused on the PSP that is primarily about hacking and watching TV and the like on your PSP. I think they are really planning to move that way in the future.

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> @denki: I doubt Sony is loosing money on the PSP these days.....Have you seen the sales of it lately?

cduran02

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> Actually, the BD recording on this is more of a backup than anything else. The recorder has a huge hard drive where it stores the recordings then it allows you to either transfer them to BD or a PSP/video walkman/phone.

In other words this is a Tivo with BD backup, which is pretty cool and not as expensive as it sounds, How much does an HD Tivo cost? How much does a BD recorder cost?

cduran02

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> I'm loving SONY's plan to keep me constantly plugged into their stuff. I can play my games away from home, I'll soon be able to watch my BR movies away from home and now this TV...away from home.

Don't get me wrong these are great features. Sit back and imagine a person who uses remote play, remote TV, remote Blu-ray, then goes home and uses these features locally. All of this on a DAILY basis. lol, it just paints a funny/sad picture in my mind.

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> @denki: I think you are making a mistake of thinkig that busting up some hardware modders place is relevant to the EULA,notwithstanding the simple fact that the law in one country is not necessarily the same law in all countries. I'm talking about the so called "EULA", which stands for End User's Licence Agreement, the hardware modding operations are not end users. I, as an end user, can do what I want with my property (It's my propery, no matter what the company might say about "renting" it to me) when owners are ever prosecuted for doing no more than modding their own console you might have a point.

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> Does anyone else use TivoToGo? All I needed was a WiFi dongle and an extra $15 to get Tivo Desktop software to convert the files. Works for a bunch of formats (PSP, iPod, Zune, mobile) and I love it. Granted you have to fast-forward through commercials but it's a nice choice for those of us with the popular DVR. Warning: Only works on PCs. Apple DRM continues to be shit.

mister_shhh

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> The concept of recorded TV -> PSP has already been officially embraced with PlayTV... If the god damn thing ever gets released!

NecronomiconUK

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> @denki: I wish that were the case; I love my PSP, and agree that Sony could do so much more with it if they allowed anything to be run with their standard firmware.

Heyyou27

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> @Cruithne: If EULAs weren't in some way able to be seen as legally binding, then we wouldn't read stories about police busting hardware-modding places. We also wouldn't see many software developers still around after getting totally reamed by getting sued after releasing sub-standard product that damages systems. It is mostly for the protection of the company, but can be used offensively as well. I ain't no lawyerbird but I do know how to use google:

[www.choice.com.au]

[en.wikipedia.org]

are some of the better worded explanations.

denki

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> Plus, blank blu-ray disks are still about ~$10 each or more. It would be cheaper to buy an entire season of shows on blu-ray than to record 6 episodes (with commercials!)

Gannoc

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> That's awesome. I'm getting closer and closer to getting a PS3 and buying a PSP again.

Strangelove

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> @enewtabie: Also true. The difference is probably negligible. Still, I'd love to see some numbers just for comparative purposes.

Captain Impulse

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> Well, I'm certainly not going to use this, lol. It's probably because I dont have a portable gaming system at the moment....I can see 'some' people using this but wouldnt it just be easier to use the internet or a computer for this job?

JauntyHat

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> The UELA is not law, no contract that you can only see after you've bought the product and opened up the box could ever in a million years be deemed legally binding.
Sony don't get to make the law.

Cruithne

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> @Cruithne: It is illegal- in that you're violating the UELA of the PSP when using homebrew. Whether or not it is enforcable is another matter, especially seeing as how the only way Sony could prove anything was if you gave them your PSP with a sticky on it that says "I done modded this and am homebrewz," or something to that effect. Yogarine has a good article on it:

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> @Captain Impulse:
No it won't look that much better.
It shouldn't take up that much memory since its only 480x272 on psp,correct?



enewtabie

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> Forgive my ignorance if this is a stupid question, but would a Blu-Ray movie look that much better on a tiny PSP screen that it would warrant taking up that much additional memory? Seems rather...unnecessary.

Even so, at least Sony's going out on a limb to provide extra functionality for its customers.

Captain Impulse

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> Instead of streaming videos via remote play, a transcoding option would absolutely suffice. "Copy to -> PSP"

Asbestos_Underwear

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> Not really surprised by this. I have a PS3 and it only gets used for remote play so i can watch tv/movies on my PSP.

Played GT Prologue, it was meh, I will wait for the full game.
Played Drakes, it was overhyped
Played ratchet it became boring fast
Played UT3, it just looked .... underwhelming and the poor PSN service just lets it down badly.

So, PS3. Glorified media centre box.

MGS4 - I was put off by the overly gay ass cleavage and cock grabbing in their play through demo.

irnchriz

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> I run homebrew on my PSP, I wasn't aware it was llegal. Maybe Sony don't like me doing it, but I'm not breaking any laws.
Anyways, kudos to Sony for their continued striving to add functionality to their products.

Cruithne

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> Who. Cares.

GoldBondRules

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> If they really want to make the PSP a truly great multi-media machine, all they need to do is update the PSP OS/FW to the point where it can run homebrew without doing anything illegal- and then they've made a very small but capable PC. Think about it- using a 3rd (or first) party keyboard attachment, you could have an on-the-go word processor, or spreadsheet, or, hell....anything. If you have a slim, with the added benefit of video out, you could run a damn presentation off a PSP, if the right software was written. I'd love something like that, so I wouldn't have to lug my laptop around in case of live-blogging or whatnot.

The problem with Sony is that while they will call the PSP something other than just a game machine, they don't -and probably won't- do anything to realize that. They have in their power to make a small, incredibly cheap but reliable and decent computer, which while it can't compete with the big boys, would be perfect for travel or low income families- just plug it into your TV and you're done.

I think with how the PSP and PS3 are handled- like using a rallycar to only do the shopping- Sony is actually trying to lose money. Too bad they are all too single-minded to see that the PSP could usher in a new age of computing.

]]> <![CDATA[New Blu-Ray Player Lets You Record TV On Your PSP]]> Transferring bluray movies to PSP? How big are these files? How much memory do I need?

Looks like I'll be needing some serious budget there..

Nope, can't afford that
