What ya guys think!

I really think that the UMD's will last pretty long due to the drop in prices. The most expensive UMD the is will be around $20.00 if you know where to look. U can find them for these prices at your local Target or Amazon.

I think it will stay as long as the PSP, The UMD dose not have Enough space for DVD extras anyways blue ray discs are going to be the next big thing after DVD, more space so higher quality videos

Im going to say 6 months becasue I don't see alot of people buying a movie that can only be played on there psp now if they were playable in a regular DVD player as well they would probably stay around a good while.

I say a year max becuase people are going o start finding out its dumb to spend 20 bucks for something you can only watch on a small psp screen apposed to a big tv or computer

Im thinking the Lifespan of the psp and the UMD should be the same because however the long the psp survives the UMD should survive.

Just an opinion.

Yeah after the PSP is gone, I think UMDs will kind of disappear. BUT, there is also the fact that their could be portable UMD players instead of DVD players... but that would be kind of pointless other then the fact that it may be cheaper then a portable DVD player... but then you also have to consider that their may be some new major form of media in a few years that surpasses even DVD. Too many things to take into acount for to determine the life span of the UMD disc.

Yea witht he way tech is growing now days the future is ahrd to predict.

hope it last llonger than my blasted mini disc.. hopefully they modify the umd to store more. or make it so you can play it on dvd... like have a case that you can put the umd in to make it bigger... after you press a button to take that lil cd out of the umd that is

Evilsgoten How fast did the Mini Disk thing last like 3 months lol!
I had friends at school with those a few months later they wanted to sell the players for like 20$.

yea they suck,... i broke my first one (md player), and brought another... and now it's in one of my drawer.. i wonder which one...

My parents talked me out of getting one of those. LOL Im so glad they did now but then I threw a fit and a kitchen chair.

I still remember the face of my friend... It was actually kind of sad though.. He thought he was "in" but he was really "OUT" the park.

LOL i rember a chinese kid at school who got one that thought he was so smart and on the leading edge of technology. Can;t express the happiness I felt the day I got my first MP3 player.

dammit, i told you i'm not chinese

I reckon if the sony wants the umd to stay around for as long as possible, sony has to make the price go down

Well, all I can say is I hope Blu-Ray lasts longer then UMD.....

I have to agree with the statement that there is not much point to getting something that will only play on psp. I have imtoo mpeg converter, and I am keeping my dvds because I can convert to mp4 and still have the dvds to watch on tv. not to mention dvds are cheaper.

a while

hopefully long enough for me to buy a UMD writer =)

Well if the prizes keeps this high standard they'll die in like 2 H

i think they are brill

I think for a very long time. There will defently be a psp 2 in a couple of years. And they ent going to change the Format

i dont know but i think it will be not verry long. The makers of movies dont like the umd format anymore because of the low sell.

It will last as long as the PSP... maybe when it gets old it'll be like us reminisce about the ol school gameboy and keeping the umds. But with all these movie download services and mem. sticks, drives, whatever... the umd will probably be old news.

with the abillity to download movies to the Memory card UMD movies will not last more then 6 months

i agree < 6 months

i think they are meant to be PORTABLE. small. cheap. so they will last as long as people are still using the psp in places other than there living rooms.

it's still kinda cool tho. and it doesn't scratch as easily as cds/dvds. physically i think it will last.

it would be smart to build a umd player for cars and travel..

I think it is making a slow start, when the prices drop it will gain buyers. I mean, I will buy more when the prices are lower.

The price of UMDs are most likely going to have a HUGe price drop.

their dead now lol

It seems many users, blaim the lack of sales of the UMD disk on the cost. In my opinion thats not the case, they have to be competitive. UMD's are still quite new compared to older formats, people are still paying for UMD's- which means Sony is still making a good enough profit for the price to stay the same. Its simple if you do not like the format dont buy them.

UMDs will last the lifespan of PSP

6 months only because you can download them off the net and save some money

umd's are still fairly new to the consumer so i think they are going to get a little longer to get used to but they are not dead yet

umd movies are cool but why buy them when you can put your own collection on the psp

Not very long

R.I.P.

They'll last forever because not everyone is psp download savy

umd , should hopefully be developed so that more films say for instance can be stored into 1 disc

I expect more studios are gonna pull out sometime this year, what with the increase in movie d/ls with them available on iTunes

I think most people download videos, but people that arent into computers much would just buy the UMD.

Personally UMD movies were never alive in my book just because Id much rather go buy a regular DVD then rip it to psp.. same thing but I get alot more bang for my buck!

I think there will be new UMD movies coming out for the foreseeable future, but much less than there has been, maybe more like just the main action movies.

not that much ppl bought the umd movies so when the psp is out so is the umd

nice man u gotta hook it up

They won't last, Cost to much, No special features.
If I was going to by a Movie, it would be DVD; I wouldn't go out of my way to buy a UMD just because I’m going for a holiday.
I'd rather spend the cash on some Bourbon!
Have a nice cool drink whilst fishing! Not watch some movie and get shitty when the sun glares on to the screen.

UMD Movies wont last very long because lots of people are downloading from illegal website and converting them to mp4 to watch them on their psp's...
