UMD: Unsuccessful, Mediocre, Dumped?
Is retail behemoth Wal-Mart really planning to drop the PSP's unsuccessful line of UMD movies? If it's true, other
major retailers won't be far behind, and then it's just one more short step to oblivion. Another failed proprietary format would not be good news for Sony,
although given that UMD movies offer a lower-quality picture, lack extras,
and are more expensive than DVDs, it's not terribly surprising.
And with the DS Lite appearing on U.S.
shelves shortly, the PSP can't even claim the title of sexiest looking handheld anymore. At least on the software side, the platform
has never been stronger, with Metal Gear Acid 2,
Daxter, and
Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror all
gathering rave reviews in the last few weeks. PSP owners
might be about to lose the UMD movie format, but they have no shortage of great games to enjoy.
