Chances are that you first heard rumors about Sony’s Portable TV service (P-TV) for the Playstation Portable when the 2.0 firmware was first released. With H.264 support came news of a new service starting in Japan where PSP owners would be able to download video content directly to their Memory Sticks. Today the service is up and running, albeit with a slightly flawed business model. Read on to find out why and see examples of how it works.
Portable TV – what is it?
It’s a service where registered users can download video content formatted for PSP directly to it. Some content is free, most will cost you a few hundred yen to download. Here comes the flawed part, the download is DRM-protected, and you only have a limited time in which to watch your download, after that you will have to pay up again. The time allowed ranges from 5 to 30 days on most downloads.
The video format varies from standard 4:3 to glorious, native resolution 16:9 for newer content. Presumably, the files you can download here are digitally signed to bypass the native resolution limitation. And it looks good!

Cell phones have content that expires like that and all it does is make me not want to put apps on my phone.
That business model is crap. There are better ways to manage content other than expiering it. They better not pull that crap in the US.
Well I guess pulling that crap is better than no crap at all... But you know...

...yep, go dowload limewire basic for free and get some free mp4 conversion software from softpedia.com and get all the movies you want (or can fit onto your memory stick) for free.
