PSP UMD Movies

I once had a friend that was going to sell a Playstation Portable, no games, but the move 28 Days Later was included. I think it was around a hundred bucks total, and this was in 2007 so it was probably a good deal. I thought to myself, man, that would be cool to have one of those just so I could watch movies or listen to music, and maybe even play a few games here and there. I decided against it, which I don't regret, but recently I've noticed a lot of these UMD movies pop up for under $5. Not a bad deal. Just looking up PSP Horror on eBay yields over 300 results, and most of them are different films. What was so cool about the PSP and the movies it had was that they were mostly contemporary, with very few classics. Sure, that might be an odd endorsement, but as a kid, I grew up on the films that were coming out at the time, not the ones before I was born. Sure, you have region encoding and all that other crap those bastards try to do to prevent you from enjoying something, but regardless, it's an impressive list and surprisingly lasted from 2005 to 2011. Check the Amazon UK link for the Harry Potter series, and then make sure you look at how many 1-Star idiots ordered it thinking it was a different format.
