What is UMD?

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.
