PSP UMDs get music industry support

Asian Kung Fu Generation

On April 13th Sony will release the first batch of UMD movies for the PSP (in Japan). Along with the films there will be a series of music video UMDs featuring Japanese Pop Stars, like the Asian Kung-Fu Generation (see right). The price is a bit steep however, when converted, we're talking $23-47. Several major Japanese labels have also agreed to start supporting the UMD format for standard album releases. It will be interesting to see if this trend follows in the US/European market.
