If I could, then I have something that might be worth building a collection on. The discs are smaller and the PSP becomes a more portable movie player than can play games and can be watched either on the player's screen or in my living room. PSPs aren't going anywhere, but without a TV hookup, I think the PSP movies do die.

Why would someone buy a PSP title and then only get to play it on their PSP whearas with DVD it can go on CPU or DVD player. I think Sony is trying to combat this issue with the TV idea but I'm not sure people will reach for PSP's anymore than normal.. it's just weird niche they have fallen into. I love the idea of the PSP but they only way I see it working is as a downloadable tool in which movies are delivered in a protected manner to the PSP for much much cheaper. $20 is outrageous.
