Sony is bundling movies with some of its Memory Sticks. Entertainment Packs for the 1- and 2 GB versions will include a DVD with four films: "XXX State of the Union," "Hitch," "The Grudge" and "S.W.A.T." The films can be played only on a PSP, however.

Sony is giving PlayStation customers a trip to the movies.

This week the company announced its Memory Stick Entertainment Packs, "designed for people who want to experience the full range of multi-functional features" on their PlayStation Portable systems.

One- or 2-gigabyte versions will cost US$60 and $100, respectively. They will be made available in August online and at Sony Style retail stores and authorized dealers in the U.S.


Customers can choose from four movies, including "Hitch," "S.W.A.T.," "The Grudge" and "XXX: State of the Union."

"We had great success on the big screen with each of [those] movies," said Mike Arrieta, senior vice president, digital distribution and mobile entertainment, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. "We expect consumers to have renewed enjoyment from these movies on the go as we make them available on Memory Stick media cards for the PSP system."
