Bye Bye Sony UMD - New Sony PSP Will Not Support It

i dont use umd anymore
i just download games
because i have cfw
its great so u dont have to buy a game then it turns out to be stupid
and its free

my psp never see any umd :))

UMDs are horrible sense they can only hold so much but if they were made like blue ray disks it would be perfection we would approcametly 12gb games in our psps ass the normal blu rays hold up to 60gb

you look stupid right now..

i knew it was coming october 1st, but he said it was coming in june and when i said "its July" i meant that(when i wrote the comment) it was july and that it was already past june and the psp didnt come out

Why I think UMDs are great:
* I can swap them, share them, lend and borrow them
* I can buy them second-hand
* I can choose from many stores selling them, not one store online which happens to sell them
* I can still download all I want with my current PSP, which Sony won't stop selling when the PSP Go is out.

PSP Go is for users appreciating a smaller device and bluetooth (with less choice, with non-removable battery, with smaller screen, with worse controls...)

Your video is a bit misleading.

Yes, Sony are releasing the PSP Go. Yes, they are paying much more attention to online distribution than they used to. Yes, UMD is going in the new model, but they will still sell UMDs and they will still sell the current fully-featured PSP (UMD and download ability).

I don't see why this is such a hyped thing. Downloads have been possible for ages on current PSPs. If you hated UMD, you could already download selected games and free demos.

what the hell do you mean UMD was a horrible design? The thing is a disk. And just like ANY disk ofcourse it would have exposed surface. Look at Gamecube disks, PS disks, and Wii disks, they ALL have exposed surfaces but do you hear us bitching about it? NO! Cuz it's all in the proper care of the disk. Don't want it dusty? Don't put it in anywhere there's dust. Or better yet, keep it in its freakin' case/box/carrying case. I mean that's what they're for.

strong words my friend. disks should always be available alongside downloadable content!!!!
