UMDs worth it?

How many people use umds with their psp. I am thinking about getting a psp but I would like to use if for gaming as well as watching movies. are the umds worth it. I mean , it looks like alot of store dont carry that many of them. Why is that. Also some online store look like the are clearancing them out. And some are just high in price.

NO!! Get a memory stick. Or two, and put movies on that then switch them out. Though each only holds max 4gb, it's not like you need to tote your entire dvd collection around and for the price of a couple UMDs you could get a 2gb stick easily. 4's run at 40 bucks online.tazzydnc

How many movies could you put on a 4 gb ?

Using that method of compression movies are generally 300 Mb range, so about 12 on a 4Gb.

UMDs aren't really worth it. When i want a movie i just go in my DVD collection, pick one, rip it like the videos and put it on my 2Gig. Only watch them on road trips though.

You can always compress the file:P

Sony put in the PSP a firmware code to prevent us playing movie from the memory stick in full resolution (480 x 272) therefore the converted movies do not look good with lower resolution (typically at 320 x 240).
