And UMD will flop. I guarantee it.


Will flop? Hasn't it already? Those things have probably sold like, 10 units in the whole world? Who in their right mind would want to watch a feature-length movie on some 4-inch screen wearing headphones and having limited battery capacity? PSP is a gaming system, not a gaming system and movie theater. I guess it's typical of Sony to bite off more than they can chew. Rolling Eyes

Someone told me that they'd be releasing a boxset of the entire DBZ series on 150 UMDs. That's obviously not true, but I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to.

You want to know who.....Teenagers...During school lunches last year we'd watch t.v. series to past the time. As far as a full lenght film same answer...ever been on a road trip that you didn't drive well if you don't have a portable dvd player psp is there for you. I think sony was making a good move on it in my own personal opinion.

The problem I see with UMD is that there is no officially supported method to watch the movies on your home theater setup. I mean, who wants to own two copies of the same movie for two seperate devices?
On the other hand, if Sony announced UMD support in the PS3 (somehow), I'd probably be more keen on it.
