foogledricks Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 If you were to buy the PSP, or if you have already bought it, would you buy movies? Would you buy duplicate copies of movies you already own on DVD? I myself an slightly bitter that it is disc-based. I wish it were harddrive-based for a couple reasons, including the prospect of being able to download movies that I already own onto it, rather than having to buy them again in Sony's propietary format. Ironically this is exactly what studios like about the PSP. Most movie sales will be duplicates for consumers, and that is awesome for them.

EnemaEms Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 I will own one movie for the PSP and that is the free copy of Spier-Man 2 that comes with it. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris F Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 I don't buy many DVDs any more, and I will pick up a few UMD movies for my PSP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 I buy a lot of dvd's so i can just shrink them. So I doubt ill be buying many UMD's unless they are like $5 each on sale or in a bargain bin capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davedbc Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 There are two reasons I would pick up a movie on a UMD 1. The studio bundles the umd and dvd together in a "double pack" for $5-6 more than just the dvd (unlikely) 2. I'm in an airport. I'm played out of anything else for the PSP I've brought with me and I'm feeling an impulsive urge to watch some movie that happens to be super inflated by being in an airport gift shop (Highly HIGHLY unlikely... since I typically just prefer to read on an airplane anyway since a book makes a good place to store the boarding pass anyway and I just can't be bothered to bring a carry-on in today's world) Otherwise clearance dumping of titles is the only chance a UMD has of being bought by me.

Robot Monkey Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 2. I'm in an airport. That's funny, I'm the same way. All bets are off when I'm in an airport looking for time to kill. I wonder if Nintendo or Sony has looked to rent their hardware and games at airports? Especially the hardware with a rent-to-own option -- wouldn't that capture a market? -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Infrequently if never. I prefer to play games on the PSP and any incentive to watch a movie on the system for me went down the drain with the realization that most of these films would be reframed to fill the PSP screen.

Orpheus Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Only a movie I really love or as an impulse buy while travelling and looking to kill time. Rentable PSP's, GBA's, DS's, and portable DVD players with a decent selcetion of media in kiosks at major airline hubs would be killer.
