Like I said, some colors make it especially evident, but then again I notice ghosting on my TV that has a 6ms response time so I'm really a stickler. This demonstrates the problem for people who have no clue what we're talking about The person who took this claims it was at 1/200, so the blurring isn't the camera.

Make your judgement based off of UMD movies. Watch spiderman 2, or advent children and be amazed. Why would I base my judgment off of a dead movie format that isn't even part of the discussion? It is part of the discussion because UMD's are the only way you can see full resolution on your PSP. Any comments about blurriness during fast action scenes are not valid when talking about those.
Because UMD is nowhere near this discussion. UMD is a dead format. I would say over 95% of movies that are viewed on a PSP stream from a memory stick. This scenario does not involve UMD. Therefore blurriness is a completely valid comment. And personally, I think the fact that SONY locks out the full resolution when not viewing a UMD is a slap in the face to consumers. Why would you ever lock away functionality? Well I guess I have to keep in mind we are talking about SONY, who love locking away functionality unless people spend more money to unlock it. (PS1 games downloadible onto the PSP only through a PS3 anyone?)

I forgot you already have a PS3. That would be pretty to cool to be able to do that with PS3. Then you can sit on the crapper as long as you like and not miss a beat of Lost.

I'm not reffering to TV. If you want the TV, the Location Free is best. Then agian, dont it work on more than the PSP? My point is. I have over 100DVDs. I can convert them, and put them on my PS3. (might take up 30 or 40GB) And then watch them anywhere in the world. Without haveing to have... 10 4gb memory sticks. That just sounds like a useful feature that can be easlily added. You would still need a PVR of some sort for that. But you can get a video chip on your PC, record the episodes.. and then just drag+drop to the PS3. And then watch it anywhere in the world. The PS3 Platinum... (or whatever the dual cell, PS3 is gonna be) Is gonna be able to do all that. It will be a HD-PVR as well... wich kicks ass. But it's stupid expensive. I could build 2 HD-PVRs and save the files to the HDD. And then run an apache webserver to download the file to the PSP. And actually you could download it to the PS3 and then use the PS3 send it to the PSP as well... :P

You can configure it to work for your laptop too. In addition to hooking up your cable box to it, you can hook up anything that outputs video (DVR, DVD player, etc) So if you have a DVD jukebox you can play your movies over the internet without converting them. I would suggest saving your money until they have it working for the PS3.

well I got the PSP for multimedia. I got the PS3 for games. It works fairly well. I'm just not interested in being able to watch 'my' TV anywhere in the world. I dont watch much TV. I usually watch my DVDs, or rent them. With my setup the PSP can do everything I normally do I at home anyway. It's just a nice little nifty feature. It's great if you have both already.

"480×272...I'm pretty sure that's less than 480i, meaning it's less than SD tv resolutions...So basically, yes, you can watch movies on the PSP, and no, it's not pretty." My UMD comment was in referance to this. I am sorry this caused do much confusion. I didn't think that the LCD on the PSP was interlaced. It seems that the blur may have to do with refresh rates. My biggest gripe with the PSP was the restrictions on native resolutions. I hope this does not affect remote play.

Static: Ah...I got you now. It's partially my fault as well, I should have realize that that statement was confusing. Or for that matter, I should have made a clearer statement in the first place. Yes, I am talking the OP's scenario, however that resolution is the screen's max resolution, regardless of input, because that's just how many pixels it has.

By the way Kwaad, you never answered my question. By "anywhere in the world" you do realize that you are only talking about the less than 1% that actually has wireless internet access, don't you?
