Sony To Bundle UMDs With DVDs

Posted by Zonk on from the getting-the-format-out-there dept.

Eurogamer has the word that Sony is planning to bundle UMD versions of movies with DVDs in order to increase the public's exposure to the PSP-specific format. From the article: "From March 28th, PlayStation Portable owners will be able to purchase DVD-UMD bundles for movies The Grudge, Resident Evil, Underworld, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and The Terminator. April 25th will see the arrival of Ghostbusters, Mad Max, The Fifth Element and Snatch, and more bundles will follow in May."

    Then don't buy the bundle. You can buy The Fifth Element, The Fifth Element Superbit Edition, The Fifth Element Special Edition With Limited Edition Foil Packaging, and the new Fifth Element DVD-UMD bundle. Gas up the SUV and head down to Best Buy -- there's media to buy!
