UMD (Universal
Media Disc) is a new, high-capacity optical medium, enabling game software,
full-motion video and other optical forms of digital entertainment content such
as movies and music, to be stored. The newly developed UMD is the
next-generation compact storage media and at only 60 mm in diameter, can store
up to 1.8GB of digital data, making it perfect for a portable entertainment
system like the PSP system. UMD stores a broad range of digital entertainment
content including games, music, movies, and more.

Like DVDs, UMDs
come with various language and subtitle options, and also have extras such as
trailers or additional scenes. The 1.8 GB storage space on the UMD also means
that film and sound quality are of an exceptionally high standard.
In the same way
that DVDs can be watched on a lap-top, UMDs are the ideal way to watch movies on
your portable gaming unit, making UMD one the most versatile video formats
around.
