I think that Sony pushed the UMD aspect of it just a little too hard for my taste and as it turns out, it has quickly become the "Betamax" of gaming platforms. Sony needs to redouble their efforts on the gaming side of the house if they have any hope of saving the PSP from an agonizing death.

I think it's a huge mistake to push the UMD aspect as the UMD movies that are being sold are nearly as much as buying the DVD. So, why buy the movie twice when you can just buy a portable DVD player for $100 and have a screen size twice that of the PSP, plus you don't have to buy the same movie on another format?
