Sorry, I was not suggesting that you should use piracy. I don't use "piracy" either (at least not in my understanding of the term), as I usually see movies at the movie theater or rent them in DVD.
I do watch many anime fansubs (which you could call piracy, but that's a controversial topic), since they are the only way to get the latest anime outside of Japan. And at least on this case, the tendency is for supported resolutions to increase: 640x480 is normal, but you can get it up to 1024x768 or more.

Anyway, I agree that 480x320 may be nice for 3.5", but on a home theater system it would look absolutely horrible. And it doesn't make sense to buy the same movie over and over for each device you own.
