Bandai to Ship UMD and DVD Discs Together

Posted by Zonk on from the magical-girls-on-disc dept.

Anime publisher Bandai has announced that they will be shipping UMD and DVD discs together for some of their releases, and GamesIndustry.biz has the tale. From the article: "Brand new anime series Eureka 7, which has been created by the team behind the hugely successful RahXephon, will be the first to get the treatment - with a single box housing both UMD and DVD, for slightly more than the price of buying both separately." UMD stands for Universal Media Disc, and is the proprietary format that Sony uses for the PSP.

    A "Universal Media Disc" is proprietary?
    Boy, I hate marketing people.

  2. Universal? by yotto · · Score: 3, Funny

    Am I the only one who finds it odd that the proprietary format for the PSP is called "universal"?

    You can use it anywhere in the Universe that you bring your PSP. Universal.
