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.

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. ! a% n6 X* b8 K" b

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。4 P, J7 \* i/ K, S

Now, it appears that many are hopping off as quickly as they got on. Paramount Home Entertainment, Warner Home Video, and yes, even Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, are cutting back on UMD releases because of poor sales, reports Variety.

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。

Warner has cut six titles from its previously announced lineup, including Martin Scorsese's classic Goodfellas. Sony, realizing that comedy UMDs sell much better than action or horror UMDs, will be adding Not Another Teen Movie and Monty Python content to its lineup. Sony will also begin releasing movie bundles, selling a movie on DVD and UMD in one pack for just under $30.

Warner已经取消了6款之前公布的UMD电影，包括<Martin Scorsese's classic Goodfellas>。SONY意识到一些喜剧UMD电影卖的比动作或是恐怖电影好，所以将会把<Not Another Teen Movie>和<Monty Python>搬上PSP的屏幕。同时，SONY开始销售UMD捆绑电影：捆绑销售一个电影的DVD和UMD版，售价则低于30美金。; `! C! I7 e/ ~: v' Y$ u( P

为了推进UMD电影的销量，SONY表示将会发售一款转换器，让消费者可以在电视上观看UMD电影（用PSP放）。 - 本文原载于A9VG游戏社区
