Comments on: Sony UMDs: Untimely Mass Destruction of the format? http://gigaom.com/mobile/sony_umds_untim/ Fri, 25 May 2012 10:45:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: jkrashid http://gigaom.com/mobile/sony_umds_untim/#comment-46069 Sat, 15 Jul 2006 04:48:16 +0000 http://jkontherun.wordpress.com/2006/07/14/sony_umds_untim#comment-46069 Its a shame because i quite liked them and at £7 a pop for the latest movie at my local game shop is very good, i tried doing the converting the DVD to divx etc, but it took far too long on my x2 4800+ processor, i converted about 5 movies and then gave up. I found the PSP a good pocketable movie device, easy to use, no faffing wih converting movies if you went the UMD Route, i think ill buy a few more if they are gonna go down in price even more b4 they stop selling if thats the case.

(Saw this coming a long time ago; pity Sony just doesn’t seem to learn from their own past experiences on proprietary media formats. *cough*bluray*cough*)
