I figure/guess they will be 480x272. Is this the PSP-version (to be included with BDs) that Sony has been talking about?

I don't think so. The Family Guy: Blue Harvest digital copy wasn't compatible with the PSP, so I doubt if this one is either. Also, it sounded like what Sony was talking about was including the PSP version right on the Blu-ray disc, not as a separate disc, and you would need to use the PS3 to extract the file (I'm not sure if I read this correctly, though)

I went "Blu" two weeks ago, and although the PQ and the audio is much better; you lose a lot of that "convenience" when switching to Blu-ray.

The only reason that I never bought a DVD/HD-DVD Combo disc is that I was waiting out the format war. If Blu-ray started selling combo discs, I'd probably buy a lot more discs than I usually do. I've definitely cut down on my DVD buying in anticipation of going HD.
