Things are looking good for the Playstation Portable. Hot on the heels of the announcement that PSP users will be able to use Skype, we learn that the PSP will be able to download and play Blu-Ray movies.

Certain Blu-Ray discs will include special versions of the film made specifically for the PSP. Gamers can insert the disc into their Playstation 3, connect to the handheld, and copy a special lower-resolution version of the movie onto the PSP’s memory stick.

Sony hasn’t said which films – or how many – will include the specially optimized versions. They also haven’t clarified whether or not this ability is limited to only those with a Playstation 3. Let’s hope that isn’t the case.
