UMD Sales Top 100K

GamesIndustry.biz has the news that Sony has sold more than 100,000 units of UMD movies to date. This does not include the Spider-Man 2 discs that were included with the PSP package in the U.S. From the article: "Sony's film canon is broadening all the time, the executive said, with releases aimed at demographics outside the traditional 18-25 year-old male gamer demographic expected soon - including releases targeted at women, and cartoons."

Portable DVD players aren't exactly $300 plus bucks. I know, I know, depending on which one you get the price will go up. Just looking at best buy real quick shows that this off brand Insignia(TM) 7" 16:9 Widescreen Portable DVD Player costs $129. That's cheap. Cheap and it plays your DVDs from home...the ones you already own AND you don't have to purchase the movie twice. You can also hook it to your TV to watch the same movies and share with everyone. It supports DVD-Video, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD, CD-R/RW, MP3 and JPEG formats, has dolby digital, Composite video and stereo audio outputs and a remote and car adapter.
