I have a couple of questions in regards to the UMD movies.

1. Are they still in production (new releases and older titles)?
2. Do you guys buy them at all? (If so how many do you own?)
3. Any idea where they are sold cheap?

Thanks for your help guys!

1. Sony/MGM seems to be the only company that still releases all of its new movies on UMD format, so they're still around, they just never became popular.

2. I personally don't. When they were still abundant at stores, they cost just as much as DVDs, and in some cases even more. They're really just a waste of good money.

3. If you can still find them laying around, you can find ones that can't sell at all for pretty cheap, like around $10. The newer movies (and in this case, movies people want to own) will stil run you the price of a regular DVD.

If you want movies on your PSP, I'd buy a DVD to PSP (memory stick) converter software. You can purchase them online or buy them at retail. They cost a bit (around $50 - $200), but it the end, it saves you money. I'm sure the PSP store will also eventually have a digital movie distribution system online where you can buy or rent a movie to watch on your PSP like they're doing right now with XBOX Live and iTunes.

I'm not really willing to pay anything over $10 on a UMD anyways, I was just curious as to what other people are doing with them these days. Thanks for the info!
