PS3 Firmware 2.20 to enable Portable Copy


We previously gave you a heads-up on what could be the features of Sony PlayStation 3 Firmware 2.20. Now, a new report ups the ante by revealing yet another cool feature.

PC World recently revealed that PS3 FW 2.20 will support "Portable Copy". Essentially, it strengthens the bond of Sony's console with its handheld counterpart, the PlayStation Portable, by allowing movie sharing.

Portable Copy lets users create standard-definition versions of Blu-ray movies and transfers them to the PSP.

This goes with other enhancements that BD-Live, otherwise known as Blu-ray Disc Profile 2.0, will bring.

We'll keep an eye out for more information on this exciting development. Keep checking back here with us to make sure you don't miss it.

UPDATE 2 :

PSP Portable Copy may not arrive with PS3 Firmware 2.2


Everyone's been talking about the PSP Portable Copy which will allow users to copy Blu-Ray movies from their PlayStation 3 to their PSPs. However, some new information has come up that indicates that this new feature will not be in the PlayStation 2.20 firmware update.

Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) recently contacted Kotaku to say that the upcoming firmware update will not have Portable Copy support. This new information appears to contradict previous announcements regarding the service.

At CES 2008, Sony announced that PSP Portable Copy will be implemented when BD Live is introduced to the PlayStation 3. When details about the PlayStation 3 2.20 Firmware were revealed, Sony said that the update will have Blu-Ray Profile 2.0, otherwise known as BD Live. So if the firmware will contain BD Live, then the PSP Portable Copy service would also be going live.

Granted , things may have changed since CES 2008, thus prompting Sony's correspondence with Kotaku. Hopefully, Sony will decide to release an official statement to clarify this issue once and for all.
