Q: I have a canadian psp, which i think is region 1,and i now live in australia...i just rented a couple umd movies and found that they won't play because they are region specific...is there any hack or coding to release the region ban?
A: In the UK, it was possible to purchase a PSP made either for the UK market or from any foreign retailer for their own marketplace. A friend of mine (who was the first person I know to have a PSP) recommended that I bought an import, especially from Japan,as
No more UMD movies?
All right so I knew that some studios had stopped…or were going to stop releasing films in the UMD format …and that there were some Target stores that were taking UMD movies off their shelves and sending them back to Sony–somewhere along those lines but I couldn’t verify that.
Sony discontinuing the UMD movie format and relying solely on a Memory Stick for ‘movie portability’…?
Okay so I did see some advertising for such a thing–wherein one would buy a DVD and then a code was provided wherein one could rip/download the DVD to the memory stick.
Yet the question is brought up –”Why would consumers pay for an additional copy of their favorite movies in a UMD format if they already own the DVD to rip and transfer to their PSPs?”
...
Today Sony has confirmed yesterday’s rumor that the PSPgo is no longer being produced, and the stock in the retail chain is all that is left . The older PSP-3000 will continue to be made and sold, and is actually selling quite well.
A lack of interest from gamers will likely mean PSPgo units remain on the market for some time, but we have to ask, why did the PSPgo fail so badly?
The move to digital content is happening at an increasing pace. Music was the first to shift away from CDs and to MP3 downloads, and consumers haven’t looked back. Many (most?) people have dumped their CD collections for an iPod and a digital music library. Now movies, TV shows, and books are making the same transition, albeit at a slower pace.
Multiple video streaming services and digital copies of movies included with DVDs and Blu-rays are pushing digital video to the masses. For books, the Kindle, Nook, Sony Reader, and increasingly tablets are supporting the move away from paper. Even in the video games arena there is a move to digital content. Games are supported by DLC, the iPhone relies on digitally transferred games completely, and Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo all have full games on offer only in digital download form. But yet a piece of hardware from Sony relying completely on downloaded content was not successful.
