Sony's PSP Handheld Storage Media Pictured

Posted by simoniker on from the tiny-wee-discy dept.

Thanks to Evil Avatar for pointing to an article on the new PSP Insider website that has the first pictures of the UMD disc format. The Universal Media Disc, or UMD for short, is the game storage medium that Sony's handheld, the PSP will use when it launches in late 2004, and is a 2.4 inch disc that can store up to 1.8gb of data.

    Is it just me, or does it look like Sony is presenting this purely as a new media format, that they just happen to be using in the PSP? Kinda like the memory stick, Sony seems to be addings another proprietary format to their ranks. Your new VAIO will not only be able to read these, but eventually, they'll be UMD-R's and RW's that will write your AIBO 3.0 code on and slip right into your digi pooch. Or not. I'm only guessing
