It brings me memories of Betamax, Mini-Disc, ATRAC-3, Sony's rootkit, etc.
It is still cheaper (and better) to have your full featured, cheaper DVDs in a much cheaper, less scratchable portable DVD player.
They need to sell UMD burners and blank media, for the format to ACTUALLY MAKE SENSE.

Sony should forget UMD for movies.
It's a great format for games.
But why would anyone with two braincells to rub together play MORe for a low-res UMD - that they can't play on their hom theatre system because it's krovvy low-res when they can just rip 4/5 DVDs to DivX and fit them on a single SD card.

Will I still be soiled, when the dirt is off?

It is funny.
But I reckon ripping DVDs that you own so you can watch them on the move is fair use - just as much as recording 12 vinyl albums you owned onto compact cassette to listen to on your Walkman was.
