UMD?!?!

[plmars]

To better understand Sony's selling strategy just take a look at the media they are using. They have developed propriatory discs calld UMD: Universal Media Disc. Think about it. How is it universal if only sony uses it?

It kinda kills its namesake, doesn't it? :P

I love to hear that, they are using a CD of sorts? That must be why battery time is so low, it takes a lot of juice to spin those things.

They need to find a better way to conserve battery life while spinnig their UMDs. UMDs sounds weird...

Yeah kind of like WMD (Weapons of mass destruction)

UMD = Universal Mass Destruction........? >_>

Sony is the king of making all of their hardware compatible with each other. Perhaps they have plans for allowing people to burn their own movies or music to their UMD format using their Sony brand laptop, PC, or CD-ROM.

No offens but that would be nice. Its like the PC game piracy all over again.

Yeah it would be nice. Ordinary people who are unqualified in the games idustry could make their own games with customized soundtracks.
