The PSP has never really appealed to me anyways. Pretty much every game is available on the PS2 already, and since I don’t exactly travel a lot, non-innovative handheld games server no purpose in my collection.

If you look around right now, everyone that owns a PSP is all about emulating classic games and general hacking of the system. No buzz on hot new games coming out because there aren’t any. It’s a glorified gadget.

I rarely pay more than $10 for a DVD anyway, picking them up on sale, used, and whatnot.

100,000 really isn’t that many considering the numbers of PSP’s that are likely out there by now. But you are right, if the UMD format is successful at its current price range it will only be due to people being stupid.
