Stores like Target finally realized that only stupid kids will buy a umd movie to watch on a tiny screen over a less expensive dvd to watch on a big screen so they stopped selling UMD movies.

You really hate change, don't cha?
Here in the UK, UMDs are kicking off... I've got a few. I heard somewhere that Sony is going to be releasing UMD players as well... |

Over here noone buys them because they are so expensive and there arnt many good movies out for it.
Also, I'm trying to spark some psp conversation here. This section is dying. |

Sony once said their BlueRay players would play UMD's as well. I never liked UMD's myself, but that doesn't mean there isn't a market for them.
I use my widescreen laptop when I want to watch a movie on the road. |
