Update: Turns out that the report was bogus. According to Sony, firmware 2.20 will not include Portable Copy.

If a report from PCWorld is to be believed, it looks as if the forthcoming firmware 2.20 release for PlayStation 3 will not only bring BD-Live support, but also support for Blu-ray disc to PSP transfer — otherwise known as Portable Copy.

Detailed during this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, Portable Copy, as the name implies, will allow PS3 owners to copy a standard-definition version of specially marked Blu-ray disc movies to their PSP. It’s worth pointing out that Sony’s official press release for the new firmware made no mention of the feature, but we’ll remain hopeful.
