Which MP4 Player or iPod Touch for Movies and Where to Buy Legal Digital Films

Dudes,
I have a collection of films on PSP UMD - but I'm aware that my PSP when in its case is a little chunky to carry around so I've decided to treat myself to something more slinky...
Also quite a few blu-rays I own have digital bonus copies (including Watchmen which seems to have expired some time ago I just noticed.....very annoying and a bit of a con).
So I'm looking to buy an MP4 player that I can transfer these digital copies to - and perhaps buy some more films for.
So where do I buy these films? Is i-tunes the only way to go??
I was looking at the iPod touch and whilst it seems to meet the bill it also does lots of other things that I don't really need...
So can you Dudes recommend me an MP4 type device that will play my bonus digital copies and that will play legal digital copies of films too - also where to buy the films would be handy to know too.

If the Ipod touch has a lot of things you don't need, then you could go for an Ipod Nano (it would need to be the previous generation / type though as the current model does not play movies), I would recommend getting a 16GB one if you go for this though, as movies can take up a lot of space, or an Ipod Classic - be warned though that you might need a converter program for any movies you currently have or download from sources other than the I-Tunes Store.
Alternatively to Apple, Creative do pretty good media players, but I would avoid using the organizer programs they package with them. At the moment I switch between an Ipod Nano (8GB) and a Blackberry Curve 9300 (with a 32GB memory card inserted), but the Blackberry and memory card could be an expensive option unless you're on a phone contract.Cheltenham Dude
