The multimedia abilities of the PlayStation Portable are set to garner more attention thanks to a video-downloading service from Japan's Sony Pictures company.
The Hollywood Reporter said Tuesday that Sony Pictures' new downloading service, which will launch next year, will allow PSP owners to gather movies online and play them on the portable media device via MemoryStick memory cards.
"We are in the business of providing content for download to computers through a variety of business partners and have said in the past that we are interested in making our content available on a wide range of mobile devices in the future but no decisions have been made regarding next steps," a Sony Pictures Home Entertainment statement stated.
The paper said that the downloading endeavor, which is still based in negotiations with downloading groups, comes after PSP sales have declined remarkably since move than 14 million units were sold in the year following its March 2005 debut.
