Everyone Hates UMD

PSP-Fanboy writes "More bad news for the UMD, which is already dying a speedy death at retail: not only are stores not stocking them, but no one really wants to buy UMD movies either. Although 40% of PSP owners claimed UMD media was a big reason why they plopped down a few hundred on Sony's pixel-spurting game brick, the complaint from actual owners is there just isn't anything worth goddamn buying on UMD."

    You don't have a clue about electronics do you? iPod life per charge is 8-12 hours. PSP life right now is a laughable 4-6 hours per charge if your lucky. Toss an HD in there and it'll be even more gamegear-like where it'll likely drop the PSP's life down to half that and make it even heavier (not to mention substantially hotter). Please...in the future do think before typing up such insaine ideas. Solid state memory is here to stay with such systems. Moveing parts require far too much energy.

    I'm willing to bet they are using Windows anyway.

    Well you should have picked another word to call your superhero other than "god", people have been using that word in explitives for *years*, we're not gonna change the words we say just because you have adopted one of them to refer to a mythical being with the "stop picking on me" mentality of a 4 year old.
