It would also be nice if you could download movies on your PC from the Station Launcher and play them on your PSP.

NP: That’s on the short-term plans already. We have a version of Launcher where it recognizes when you plug in your PSP into the PC. You can download a movie straight from the internet through the Launcher straight to your PSP without it ever having touched your PC. There is no version on the PC, if you don’t want it to be. It can download straight to your destination device like your PSP.

Are those movies going to be automatically formatted for the PSP?

NP: That’s right, you’ll be able to download whichever format you want. You want to watch it on PC its one format, if you want to watch it on PSP it’s another format.

But, you’re not going to have to buy the movie twice?

NP: That’s right.

Since you’re going to be able to download movies, what is going to happen to the UMD format?

NP: The movies are big, right? There is a storage capacity limit, so UMDs will still be a good way to watch movies.

Just go to your library, get some dvds, copy them to your computer, convert them, and watch them on your psp.
This way your movies are free :)
