The PSP just keeps getting better.

LOS ANGELES - The home video unit of Sony Corp. said Friday it will release four movies in April on a new disc format designed for Sony's PlayStation Portable handheld video game device.

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment said it will release "XXX," "Hellboy," "Resident Evil 2" and "One Upon A Time in Mexico" on April 19 in the Universal Media Disc or UMD format, with additional monthly releases in the future. The unit did not set a price for the movie discs.

The small UMD holds 1.8 gigabytes of data, three times the capacity of a CD-ROM. It was designed as a vehicle for games and other media on the PSP.

Sony Computer Entertainment of America will release the PSP in North America on March 24, with a bundled copy of the movie "Spider-Man 2."

In unveiling the PSP for the U.S. market in January, top Sony Computer executives said they would probably wait a few months after the PSP's release before seriously pushing movies in the new disc format.

But earlier this month, when Sony set the launch date and price for the PSP, executives said the strategy had changed and that there would be movie releases within a month of launch.

the sad thing about the psp is that its battery life is less than 2 hours and it has a disfunctional a button. They made the A button this way due to it being so close to the screen. The psp also has a tendency to over heat and has been on call back all over japna since it came out. This is why i sprang for the ds rather thanw aiting for the psp... i mean really now, how is somebody supposed to watch a damn movie when you got a batterly life that lasts less than 2 hours.

welll, i just read the other day that Sony called back all the PSP's that were shipped here. and now new ones are on their way with the button fixed. no word on the battery life, or over heating though.

well the button i believe was made to be like that... but i guess the battery life did not change so the psp still sucks...
