First UMD Movie/Game Combo

Posted by Zonk on from the blatant-ripoff dept.

Gamespot is reporting that, for the first time, Sony is selling a combo UMD movie/game disc. For about $40 you get three levels of Wipeout: Pure and the craptacular film "Stealth", which didn't even manage a 30% recoup on the film's budget. From the article: "On November 15, Sony will release the military sci-fi film Stealth, which slipped under most summer moviegoers' radar, on UMD. The portable version of the $130-million-budget, $31-million-grossing film will come with the first three levels of the best-selling PSP racing game Wipeout Pure. It will also feature a "Stealth" track not found in the regular version of the game, which will let players race as the advanced fighter jet from Stealth."

  1. Only promsing thing to come out of this ... by PaganRitual · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ... is that the introduction of a PSP magazine with a playable demo UMD on the front cover is a possibility. I know I would be keen on paying $8-$10 for the option of trying out half a dozen PSP games just to see if I'm happy with the control scheme or the framerate or simply the game itself.

    Exactly. This movie most definately didn't slip under our radars. It was identified and ignored for the garbage it is.
