I felt like playing The Sims on my PSP, so I got the UMD and started it.. jesus christ the loading times are loooooooooooong. Another advantage of using a memory stick is it's faster and consumes less power

True,thus we get longer play time

QFT. Why would someone pay just as much (or sometimes more) for a limited format (UMD) when they could purchase the same thing on DVD for the same price and also get the extra features, not to mention being able to play the DVD anywhere a dvd player is available... Sony should've priced UMD movies more aggressively and the format may have survived

Well, it is still surviving though for UMD..Btw what does QFT mean?

Quite F True? Just guessing...

oooh,thanks for pointing that out..Btw chai, BAIBAIBAI PSP

Sorry, I guess I should have been clearer. UMD survives because it is the chosen format of the PSP for games... UMD as a movie format is dead and buried.

Lacus · 14th Jun 2008, 12:07 AM

eh? really? Somehow there are still UMD movies being made right?

rogue_tomato · 16th Jun 2008, 11:04 PM

Not really... Sony is basically the only studio supporting UMD movies, if that. They tried something about having 2 movies on a memory card if I remember correctly, but that bombed. There were 2 (or more) movies on a card, and you basically chose one movie, and the other was blocked/deleted/something...
