Obsolete Tech This Week: The UMD - A Forgotten Format

Welcome to another episode of Obsolete Tech! The show where we dive into the tech and gadgets that time has left behind. In today's episode, we're taking a deep dive into the UMD (Universal Media Disc), Sony's ambitious attempt to revolutionise portable media for the PSP (PlayStation Portable).

What was the UMD, how did it work, and why did it never catch on? We'll explore the rise and fall of this quirky format, examining its impact on gaming, movies, and the tech landscape of the mid-2000s. Was it ahead of its time, or just another format that couldn't keep up with the digital revolution?

Join us as we take a trip down memory lane and explore the tech that once promised to change the world – but ended up collecting dust in the back of drawers.
