I just find it easier and cheaper to buy the dvd, rip and convert it. that way i can watch my dvd on tv or pc and use the rip on my psp, no disks to carry round and worry about losing!
I think sony would have been better off offering videos to download a la video ipod.

a UMD writer would truly add the \"UNIVERSAL\" into the UMD.....don't think sony are listening though.

Sony's own little pet standard isn't going to last much longer unless they open it up, that's for sure.

Charging extortionate prices for them would stop that

Gives alot of info on the UMDs!
Quote:Unlike the Minidisc, another proprietary format developed by Sony, blank media will not be commercially available in order to block customers from making UMD copies of their current DVDs. This tactic is used to encourage customers to buy UMDs of movies they already own. However, there has been recent profit from licensing fees.
