Sorry, but search gave me 125 topics that were not answering my question. I am sure it has been asked, but maybe I just asked wrong, isn't the first, nor the last time that's happened.

Q: What is the difference between DVD and UMD?

For example, when I got to Ghost in the Shell SAC, there are like 30 different things to choose from. I would like to just have what there is too watch. I don't necessarily need the T-shirt and all the other possible stuff. Collect because I like to watch, not as investment.

Thanks for any help you care to give.

Have Fun

Jay

UMD (Universal Media Disc) is the format that can be played on the PlayStation Portable system (PSP). It's basically a smaller version of a DVD that is compatible on the portable system. Samurai Champloo, Appleseed, and the Cowboy Bebop movie were some of the first releases on UMD for the PSP. Geneon was the first anime licensor to release anime on the UMD format.

Ok, we just went beyond my fingerfull of useful japanese phrases.

Puh Zhelsta!

By the by, what else may I be needing to look for when picking my wish list? Just pick DVD? And should those be "Hybrid?" I am guessing that means Dubbed in japanese and in english, with English subs.

Did you look at Ghost in the Shell? I mean it looks like there are more than 30 choices. Shocked

Thanks again.

Have Fun

Jay
