Sony attempts to fix UMD movie fuckup - Too little too late

Post by Talez »

Linkage

So whats in store?

Sony isn't ready to give up on the UMD and plans to rectify this by instituting a $15 MSRP cap and all future UMDs must have the same features as their DVD equivalent.

$15 US bucks? For a lower quality DVD? When the older DVDs are only US 10 bucks?!? Fuck that. You've got to be fucking kidding me. Make them USD$10 (~$15) for top shelf movies and I'll lap them up otherwise its utterly retarded to buy them.

They should have just used Minidiscs for the PSP anyway :evil:

region locking killed this format before people even looked at the (over)priced UMD's.

Region locking a portable device in any way = RETARDATION.

Yep, they should have been US$10 and region free.

The only region free ones at JB are the music ones, if they were $15 I'd grab a couple, but for $30-35 each NO FUCKING WAY.
