L3thal Veteran Posted February 7, 2007 Veteran Share Posted February 7, 2007 I dont think cost is what killed UMD at all but the practical use of the format. To use it you needed a PSP and you had to actually want to watch movies on an ultra small screen. In reality most people arent particully keen on watching videos on such a screen regardless of the cost and the fact the PSP sales while ok but werent GREAT didnt help either. UMD movies was a niche product, its probably not a cost issue at all even if cost didnt help. Very good point. Who the hell wants to pay $20-$30 to watch a movie on a small screen? With that much, I can buy a Blu-Ray movie and put it playing on my HD setup.

Minchino Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 UMD had no backing from other companies, whereas Blu-Ray has plenty of well known names and studios.

Harlem39s Finest Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 tbh i don't care which format wins the "war", but the amount of anti blu-ray comments is stupid :| Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/535041-blu-ray-media-outselling-hd-dvd-2-to-1/page/4/#findComment-588301600 Share on other sites More sharing options...
