Sony announced last week that, yes, it’s still releasing UMDs, baby! Partnering with MTV, PSP owners will soon be able to purchase “Beavis and Butt-Head: The Mike Judge Collection,” volumes 2 and 3; “Jackass,” volumes 2 and 3; “Wildboyz,” volumes 1 and 2; “Viva La Bam,” volumes 2-4; and “Aeon Flux: The Complete Animated Collection.” While Sony has to know that UMD has become a game-only format, small, thematic releases like these aren’t really going to hurt/help the format or the bottom line. It’s like gambling on the penny slots after losing for a few hours of $20 blackjack. [Reuters]

Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at 6:33 PMIsn’t this ironic that the Blu-Ray camp are telling Toshiba to give up on HD-DVD when Sony is still pushing this crap. I guess Toshiba may have borrowed some of Sony’s “It ain’t dead until I say it’s dead” philosophy which they are getting beaten around the head with. Maybe Toshiba should say “we’ll give up on HD-DVD when Sony gives up on UMD”
