When Sony released the PlayStation Portable last year, many industry watchers felt as though the movie-watching capabilities were limited by the handheld's proprietary format. The Universal Media Disc, many argued, would go the way of the Betamax and the Minidisc, formats both made by Sony that were eventually edged out of the market because of competition and their limited usage. ; O6 P6 ?4 R. ^

当SONY在去年公布PSP的时候，很多影视厂商都觉得掌机的电影市场很小。UMD的格式曾经受到很多人的争议，有议论认为UMD会走上SONY以前用的Betamax和Mindisc老路，因为这些格式都有竞争对手，并且本身也有局限性（限制的使用平台）。# i! `' |: Q/ D5 V" F* x& R4 m

Would people pay money to buy movies that could only be viewed on the four-inch screen of the PSP? Out of the gate, the answer was surprisingly "yes." Seeing the format as a viable option for more revenue, many film studios, some reluctantly, jumped on the bandwagon and announced support for the format. 0 k2 \4 w4 c) |. L* Y

会有人买只能在一个4寸屏幕上看的PSP电影吗？当时人们被给予的答复是“是的”。UMD电影作为一种可行的增加利润方法，很多电影厂商都表示支持UMD格式，一些厂商虽然不情愿，但是也随着大流表示支持。

现在，很多厂商却迫不及待的都要退出UMD电影制作行列。Paramount Home Entertainment, Warner Home Video，甚至Sony Pictures Home Entertainment自己都因为UMD电影的凄惨的小量而停止了新电影的UMD版的发售。
