Whatever we might state about Sony, we can’t state the company isn’t tenacious. It continues, unstinting, to push its crappy, proprietary formats up the steep hill known as “failure”. So it continues with the UMD, the Universal Media Disc for the PlayStation Portable.
Sony has announced that it will be bringing MTV shows to the little DRM’ed disc, including Beavis and Butthead and Jackass. After approximately nobody purchased movies on UMD, we predict a roaring success for Sony with this new venture, however much the titles might cost (too much, undoubtedly). Alternatively, PSP owners could continue to rip DVDs and copy them to a Memory Stick.
An entertaining aside: As you can see from the link below, Reuters clearly thinks about the word “Butthead” a little too racy for inclusion in a headline.
