My frined's dad works for Sony and he brought him 2 import's from japan and he's been letting me play his. The UMD cases are on there for good, it can't see how you could open tit up without damagaing anything. His dad is the vice president for US home movie distribution, so I figure he'd be the exact person to ask: I asked if Sony was planning on making a UMD player for home use and he said yea. I also had a discussion about how it could possibly survive against the Blu ray for home use. With UMD you will be able to notice the low rez on a HD screen, but with Blu Ray you wouldn't. So in my opinion I think UMD will be what Hi8 was for home entertainment. With Blu ray coming and all the HD TVs everywhere, I personally don't think the UMD will make it past the PSP, but I could be wrong. If you want me to check anything out on the PSP or UMD then feel free to ask, I just can't open it up or try to crack the UMDs, but I can look for stuff.
