the idea (and this new idea too) suck right from word go, they had one crap product, then to make their money back release another pretty crap product with a limited selection and massive price. god damn, most people learn from their mistakes, Sony seems to wallow in their own defeat on this one huh

I'm confused about the Duo Stick. So you buy it and can only choose one of four movies to watch?

I liked UMDs I just wish they were sold at a lower price. $20 for a movie is way to much. $10 would have been perfect, for me at least.

I'm glad I don't have to buy UMD's no more, I bought like 3 movies. I'm glad they will bring them out on a memory card though. That'll be cool

No one told you you had to. In fact, if you read about them here, you were almost told not to.

The only titles that will be made available are SONY's titles..so you've got blockbuster epics like "SWAT", "Hitch", "XXX" and it looks like "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", which is a stupid medium to be released on anyway.
