There's potentially big news in blowing in today, and it comes straight from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Apparently, Sony's been demonstrating the "next level of disc copying" to a curious audience and successfully transferred an entire Blu-ray movie as a lower-res version to a PlayStation Portable's memory stick. More on that at the full story.

When you combine a blockbuster movie and a hot new high-definition movie player, you will definitely get chart-breaking sales. "Casino Royale," the James Bond movie starring 007 newbie Daniel Craig has hit the 100,000 units shipped marked. The movie has set the record for the most number of high definition copies sold in one day.

So what's the point of getting a Blu-ray copy of "Casino Royale?" Director Martin Campbell says, "It’s just unbelievable. Clearly, it’s fantastic. The comparison between standard def DVD and Blu-ray is quite stunning and quite transparent to the master. It’s precisely what would make me want to buy a copy."

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment President David Bishop says that the Blu-ray company is committed to bring consumers the best picture and sound quality available. If you haven't tried watching a Blu-ray movie, maybe now is the time to. Sony Pictures has a great lineup of movies still to come.

We're not quite sure how this one would exactly work but it sure is sounding sweet and heavenly. In this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, a Sony official was quoted saying they are planning to include portable files on Blu-Ray discs that will in turn allow users to copy movies to laptops and other portable electronics.

When he mentioned portable, we're pretty sure (or kind of hoping) he was referring to the PSP. It is no secret that they've always wanted to boost software sales for their handheld, and the Blu-Ray format is in a deadlock with Microsoft's HD DVD. So when you really think about it, this move is genius.

The Sony official we're talking about is actually David Bishop, the head of the company's Home Entertainment Unit. His exact words read:

Sony Pictures Entertainment will include portable files on Blu-Ray DVDs that can be transferred without a download. Sony may add the feature this year. It's not currently part of anything on our current release schedule, but we'll probably roll it out sometime this year.

Sony, our dear, feel free to take all the time you want and you need perfecting this one. But please make sure that the PSP is well in your heads whenever you think about the word portable.
