    I just wanted to mention something I read about the HD and SD movie purchases in the psn store that you may not know.

    For each Movie there is a HD purchase option and a HD+SD purchase option. They both cost the same. you can get the either and watch the HD version on your ps3 with no problem.

    But here is the thing you need to know. Sony doesn't have an agreement with the Hollywood studios to put HD content on their PSP and Vitas. So even if you PAID for the HD version, you can't transfer anything at all to the portable. But Sony does have an agreement to put SD content on their portables. So by getting the HD+SD version, you are reserving the option to put the movie on a portable. That's why there IS an HD+SD option, for people with both consoles and portables. But they don't tell you that.

    Even if you don't have a portable today, you might want this option in the future. Also, I'm not sure, but I believe you can just choose to NOT download the SD version now. So you won't waste HDD space either.

    :)
