Sony To Offer Lower Priced UMD Movies

[jamotto]

Most people would just use a laptop if they have to.

I could see a portable dvd player even though they have really crappy sound quality, but a laptop? You would buy something that is bulkier, has less battery life and costs way more?

I say replace some of those umd's with wmd's and send some You getting on my nerve gas to the sony execs for making almost no effort to get developers back making games

I'll continue playing movies off my memory stick. DVD's are cheaper and easily ripped to the PSP.

I remember them saying that they were going to drop the price of UMDs to a similar price maybe a year ago now?

Either way, it'd be nice if they did.

A lot of people who travel a lot, the kind of people who use portable video devices, already own a laptop. I also meant portable DVD players too. I assume you would understand what I am trying to say.

I doubt they'll see much more sales with this idea. UMDs are dead. Away with them I say.

I had one UMD movie that came with the psp, which I ended up selling, and never bought another. It makes more sense to just put videos directly onto the memory stick, if anything, especially with all the endless video converters that are available in every last corner of the internet.

That's what I assumed, but most of the laptops that I have don't make very good movie players, because the ones that could actually run a recent game didn't have a battery life long enough to complete one movie. This is one of the reasons why I ended up picking up a psp, best of both worlds at least for me.

I thought that UMD Movies were the stumpiest thing on earth.
I was wrong.
After i learned that Sony continue to boost UMD movies instead of a movie conventing program, or a firmware that support more video formats, i've changed my mind.
Sony manage Defy Ainstains Theory by reaching the very limit of stupidity.
