For me? It's PSP UMDs
What's your favorite obsolete video format?
I forgot all about those
have people actually watched movies on psp?
I used to watch Mr. and Mrs.Smith on mine all the time
Divx
They were DVDs that you had to pay every time you watched them. You owned the disc but had to "rent" the actual film and the Divx player would connect to the internet to bill you. Not making this shit up
I always remember a hentai one at gamestop
PSP was just a personal fapping platform for 12 year old boys.
Damn I miss the rush of sneaking a visit to pichunter.com underneath my bed sheets when my parents didn't understand what WiFi was.
I used to have Team America and Jackass on it
Many comfy nights watching them under my duvet
I watched some Monty Python on mine during a car trip, but the battery didn't really last too long. Comfy, though.
Quite literally the most petty and Jewish thing I've heard in my life, love it.
a home video exec's wet dream.
Fuck yes, I bought a couple of umds back when they first came out and then I bought a couple of memory cards and fit most of my favourite movies on them to watch. This was around 2007-2008 so before big screen smartphones were a thing, and the psp had a bigger and better screen for the price than anything else on offer
I would watch spiderman movies on it
This. I did this with Sword of the Stranger/Crouching Tiger/House of Flying Daggers and more. It was so comfy and the screen was way better than anything out at the time.
switch pichunter with imagefap and you're basically me
Xnxx and AllisonAngel were my Go-to’s.
Good times.
mini dvd
Videodiscs
For me it's Hit Clips.
VHS was terrible. Nobody cared about hoke entertainment except music in those days.
I thought I hallucinated miniDVD, goddamn
Probably the biggest eyestrain of the early 2000s
>>>>>>>discs in an handheld console
i have Heavy Metal, got it for 89 cents
That's why the discs are in cases doofus
I've legit only ever watch Akira on my PSP despite loving the film
Why didn't it take off?
jeez that looks like worse resolution than the original game boy
having to get up and flip the disc was a pain in the ass
What happened to all those disks?
oh man wish i could find my old mem card i know i had a lot of ariel rebel and piss on it
It was owned by Circuit City. And if I remember correctly you paid one price at the store to have it active for like 24 hours then you could pay more to unlock the disc for unlimited watching.
Speaking from experience, I would have had less eye strain watching the Tetris demo play on the Gameboy, than watch Anything that was marketed on this POS
Better picture quality than VHS.
Yes which is why it was used in every tv production company in the world for their filmcrews and still is by some camera guys who only film with Digibeta
visual quality wasn't much better than VHS. Expensive.
>AllisonAngel
FUck. I spilled so much seed to her as an underageb&. She was one of my favorites for sure, good taste.
Betamax was the consumer version. Betacam is the pro version. Desperate and incompatible signals.
*seperate
This was pretty cool at the time, I had a couple of pokemon episodes
The idea was nice but the audio on them were horrifyingly bad. Had a fairly oddparents cartridge and those voice actors with that compression didnt do it any favors.
Because they were really expensive, only rich people had them. I've got a fair collection of them now that they're cheap as chips, the LP sized box art is really pretty
You could get laserdisc players that could read both sides
It's significantly better than VHS, closer to DVD in fact:
>VHS: 240 TVL
>Laserdisc: 440 TVL
>DVD: 540 TVL
My house mate bought a bunch because he said he would watch them. I don't think he's ever watched a single one
Tell that lazy fuck to print out some proper cover art for those Gamestop cases.
>ctrl F Juicebox
>no results
plebs, all of you
What a pleb
i jailbroke mine and watched mp4s from a ms pro stick
Jesus Christ
Looks like something I would have fucking loved as a kid.
>One stinky dinky!
It was the first time I watched Kung Fu Hustle, shit was so fucking cash.
tfw physical media died before we could get clear cds/dvds
>Universal Media Disc
>Literally anything but universal
How did Sony get away with it?
