Since Sony's demonstration in Las Vegas, you may have wondered how the process of transferring Blu-ray movies from your PlayStation 3 to your handy PlayStation Portable actually ran. Details at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show were flat-out dry, but thanks to new info running around, you'll be able to see a bigger picture. More on the popular BD Live feature at the full story.

For those waiting for the promised PSP Download Store, it looks like you'll have to wait a little bit longer. Sony officials were not able to specify a launch date when asked about the PSP's downloadable media service. The reason? Sony is still working on Digital Rights Management (DRM) to protect downloadable content from getting pirated, said John Koller, spokesman for the PlayStation Portable.

According to some financial analysts like Forrester Research's James McQuivey, the delay is setting back the PSP from challenging the popularity of the iPod. "It could have been the first big mobile carrier of TV shows and movies," said McQuivey on the PSP's potential to become one of the best portable media devices should it have DRM.

Even Jack Tretton, Sony Computer Entertainment America's (SCEA) president recognizes the importance of the downloadable service for the PSP.

I think the advent of a long awaited and quite frankly long overdue ability to deliver a downloadable service for the PSP will help us out a great deal... Hopefully we'll have it out there by the fall.

The Sony executives did give some information about the upcoming PSP downloadable store. Short form games will be available, and once music and movies are made available in the service, Koller promises that they will be of the same quality as the almost-flawless UMD media.

This next one will send shivers down your spine. It's the official trailer video for Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII for the PlayStation Portable (PSP). We would have made the download available for you but we're having some problems with digital rights management (DRM). So we turned to good ol' YouTube and found that a certain user, valiant217, has already uploaded it.

The trailer video is in Japanese, of course, but we are rather certain that fact won't stop you from wearing your headphones, turning the volume up, and clicking "play" - all this time having a wide grin on your face and with fingers fumbling every time. Why not, this is Final Fantasy. The same exact video game series that has withstood the test of time.

Anyway, the trailer mainly focused on Zack Fair and his discussion with Lazard, the head executive of the Department of SOLDIER of Shin-Ra. We couldn't understand it but it seems that this very discussion is very pivotal to the development of Crisis Core's story. Towards the end, there are a couple of in-game footage so don't you dare push that "stop" button. Enjoy!
