It costs more to buy a UMD than it does a DVD. Some UMD's are like 30 bucks. The only ones I have bought have been like 15 bucks, and I didnt own them on DVD. And the only one I thought was a good value to buy was the first and second season of Family Guy. If they want it to prosper... other playing devices wont work. These movies are tiny, and if you put them on the TV, bluring will start... especially if you put it on an HDTV. It just isnt worth it. Since there basically 1/8th the size of a DVD, make them 1/8th the price, OR at least make them half the price as their conterpart. It costs more here to buy say Mr. and Mrs. Smith on UMD than on DVD by 10 bucks. If they want it to work, they have to lower the price of them, if not... ill continue to convert my movies and play them off my memory card, cuz its almost at the point where instead of buying 2 UMD movies, I can buy a 1 gig memory card.... nuff said... heh HOW ABOUT LOWERING THE STINKIN PRICES OF THEM AND SOME OF US MIGHT CONSIDER IT!!!
