I like the Lionsgate method the best, since it isn't using up space on the disc. Then again, I may be biased because I have no interest in watching a movie I have in HD on a portable device. 
Is the Sony method actually transcoding the BD movie, or copying over a separate version?

Update: There's a rumor that Sony's portable copy would transcode any Blu-ray film into a PSP version. That's not how we understand it. The firmware update would just allow the PS3 to "see" the portable copy already burned into some Blu-ray discs and then make it available for transfer to your PSP. Think Digital Copy for Sony's gear, not Apple's.

I just bought a bigger PSP memory card. I'm ready for some downloadable movies.

I wonder if we will get sales numbers. No Country is #1, but may have only sold 20k copies...meaning ID4 could have only sold a little more then 2k copies. Sad thing is I think we only see sales numbers if there big...like 60k big.

Turns out it's a good thing I was so dubious.
SCEA contacted us today to let us know we were right to doubt, the Playstation 3's firmware 2.20 update will not include Portable Copy support, despite reports to the contrary.
Too bad, I'm about to go away on a trip for a few days and was thinking I might be able to bring some movies with me. Of course, I'm also still confused about whether all Blu-ray movies will be copyable or if it will be only for movies that have an extra PSP file included on the disc.
