I was one of the folk who bought a bargain 64gb Playbook 2 or 3 years ago. It gathers dust since I bought an iPad and Blackberry did away with movies on Blackberry World. I'm banned from downloading freebie movies from torrent sites after twice having to get my laptop cleaned thanks to Trojan viruses.

Anyway, I want to buy a few movies to fill my Playbook and take offshore with me. Wifi on my rig is shite so downloading or streaming isn't an option there. I need it on the device. Obviously, my 16gb iPad can do this but I get about one movie on that particular device which isn't ideal for a 14 day trip in the wilds of the North Sea.

I was recommended to try Sony Entertainment and Google World to purchase movies. I did a cheap movie purchase today as a tester from Sony but can't view the fecking thing on my Blackbery. I'm being prompted to connect my device but when I click on this, Sony Playstations and Sony tablets are the only options I can see.

I haven't tried Google yet.


Can any of you kind people help?

PS putting the fecking thing in the bucket is an option I'm already considering
 
Go through to the kitchen cupboard, grab cornflakes box and plug it into a USB port. You will probably have more luck with that! Your problem with the legit stuff is DRM and it having a crap browser. I doubt Google will work either since you don't have Google play movies or a half way competent browser. You could rip some of your own dvd's and load them on.
 
Ronnie theres a program for the Playbook

I think its DDPB installer I think you use that to stick "stuff" onto the Playbook via the PC

I am sure Fanum had a thread on this a while ago

AS far as it goes now its pretty useless as Blackberry fuckwit company sold a bunch and then let support drop off

and won;t rewrite the software to let you use an android platform on it CNUTS
 
Ronnie - PMd you.

There is a Blackberry program ("Desktop") which allows you to drag/drop movies to the Playbook. Install it on your PC.

Al :D
