I wouldn't buy them 2x either, the examples are of films I did not buy in DVD, but for PSP they'd make more sense.quest55720 said:
The fact that you don't need to sit in your livingroom, planning and possibly scheduling the time ahead to watch a movie on your home theater setup is a big plus for PSP and UMD's for me.
Movies that I didn't think were quite worth buying and dedicating time on DVD, I now consider buying on UMD for less time and place restricted watching.
That might sound odd, and maybe it's just the novelty value affecting me, but at least at the moment I see myself as a potentional UMD movie buyer. And I am pretty sure the way I feel about it is quite the average stance people have on PSP and UMD's.

Have the portable DVD players sold well at all? My impression is that people consider them just that little too big to be as convenient to bring along.PC-Engine said:rabidrabbit said:
Because non geeks buy DVDs where they can watch it on a tv or in a portable DVD player.

Portable DVD players are very popular especially with travelers.
Well, with the PSP it has lasted considerably longer than with most other (any?) devices I've bought, I've had it for a month already and I've not noticed much wear offPC-Engine said:
As watching video on the go is not dependant solely on the device, and I've already found it to be a great and liberating alternative for livingroom viewing, I don't think after the novelty of the device wears off I would not still be watching movies on PSP.
I disagree, but I don't have any factual data to support, just my own observations.
I would not be watching the same films very many times, if I watch a film more than two times it has to be very very good or I re-watch them with friends.PC-Engine said:rabidrabbit said:
Oh you'll still be watching them because you already purchased them, question is will you still be buying them.
Don't tell me what I'll be watching, I knows me better than you does
Why wouldn't I?
I would.
I still buy DVD's too, even though the novelty of surround sound and big screen have worn off long time ago.

Yes please. Or delete his post or something. It honestly doesn't make any sense.
Obviously the #s prove so far that UMD could be viable despite the longing of certain individuals.
Will it continue? I don't know, it could easily stall if the PSP doesn't sell through well enough or consumers just tire of it. Or it could do well. /shrug.
And I find it funny that some would resort to calling those that buy UMDs as geeks when they are also talking in other threads about building HTPCs for $400 with an all aluminium case, remote, and HD-DVD drive.
