PSP shatters console launch records in Europe.

So they think it's a console, hmm.

Those Europeans.. sometimes it's like they're on a whole different continent altogether.

Ok then, let's rephrase it as "the most successful launch of a gaming machine (handheld or otherwise) ever in the UK (and apparently France)"...

Good for Sony

The word 'shatters' is a bit of an exaggeration. I think it would be more accurately described as 'mildly dashes'. Let's not allow a little good fortune for Sony get to our heads. To say 'shatters' console launch records is a bit immature and dare I say, 'fanboyish'.

I wonder if UMD movies are going to outpace games on the PSP in Europe as well.

Most likely, yes.

PS - I just learned Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is coming out on PSP in a week. This news excites me. I'm going to get it right away for sure.

And why not for regular DVD, pray tell? This is the part I've just never understood. Maybe for short TV shows, but for a two hour movie that you're only going to watch in its entirety while on an airplane? Why would anybody want the UMD version other than just to show it off?
