CES 2008: Sony demos Blu-ray disc copying on PS3

Movies - pret a porter!

NEWS: 8 January 2008 10:29 GMT by Katie Scott

Visitors to the Sony stand at CES were shown what it believes will be the next generation of disc copying trends.

Using the PS3, David Bishop, president of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, demonstrated how to copy a Blu-ray movie from the console to a Playstation Portable or a Memory Stick. "This way, you can have a portable copy you can take with you," he told the crowds.

"There was always the promise of greater interactivity. You'll see that coming in the new year," Bishop continued.

Being able to copy a lower-resolution version of a film from a packaged media disc to a portable device is not new.

Fox and Warner released the first standard definition titles to offer this capability last year on Live Free, Die Hard and Harry Potter: The Order of the Phoenix, respectively.

Sony also used CES to demonstrate how users can download ring tones and new content to a BD Live player, using Men in Black as the example.
