I've been using the PSP as a video viewer for months. I commute 2 hours daily on a train. Watching movies and tv series (Battlestar Gallectica, Ghost In The Shell, The 4400, etc.) makes the commute manageable. I use the PSP with my Mac. I use Handbrake and iPSP to do the conversions. The screen on the PSP is drop dead gorgeous. It took me several tries to get all the settings right (for best sound and image). But once the learning curve is done it works great. Enjoy.
