Despite numerous analysts across the globe proclaiming the format dead, Sony has claimed UMD is alive and well and the company is "pretty pleased" with its progress.
The collaboration you’ve all been waiting for is here – Yorkshire Tea and your favorite console’s controller.
Hmph, you were lucky enough to be playing games with a yorkshire tea controller!
Back in my day we only had rectangular controllers that would give you blisters and wear your thumbs down to a nub!
The new rules set by Japanese gaming giant, Nintendo, might threaten future content, directly impacting the profitability of many community-driven events.
"The profit of these tournaments is directly impacted by these new rules, as sponsorships are being forbidden, maximum prize money is limited to $5,000, and food/drinks can’t be sold at the tournaments."
Why even bother.
1 thing I've realized over the years is that Nintendo likes bragging about "fun", but it's "fun" how they see fit, and they often go against their consumers for the dumbest reasons. Just gonna do this stuff underground style, who are Nintendo to stop anyone from organizing community based tournaments anyway? How does this actually hurt em?
They've always wanted smash to be seen as a fun, casual game and nothing remotely competitive, which is in stark contrast with how Sakurai develops smash. He puts in so many little things to master for high level competitors. It's just sad, especially for the melee community. They kept the community going for 2 decades now even while all the time nintendo was trying to sabotage them.
Best Buy is offering the LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog Green Hill Zone set for an aggressive rate this Cyber Monday.
How about maybe, just maybe, $25 was too much for a full-length film, without extras, that I can ONLY play on my PSP? The movies are great for when you are travelling for business and are desperate for something to watch...but honestly, who wouldn't rather watch a movie on their laptop anyway. Sorry Sony, had you charged $5-$10, the format may have worked...since you tried to be gredy and charge MORE than a DVD, it failed.
The PSP is the BEST portable, once you install all the homebrew emulators. Having on-the-go NES, SNES, Turbografix and GBA libraries of thousands of games all at full speed is incredible.
Too bad this use isn't donating a penny to Sony's bottom line.
psp was too expensive, umd's were too.
They could deny it all they want but the bottomline is, us the gamers know it's not selling. I feel if in the beginning they would have sold more PSP games and less movies people would have enjoyed the fact that once in awhile they could watch a good movie on the PSP. But instead they put tons of movies and not enough games.
It was way too expensive for a movie I could only watch on my PSP
hahaha, im a PSP owner and i will passionately defend it, but this is too much. Lol. the UMD movie was doomed from the very beginning mainly due to it's high price.
