All of which have failed (some for better reasons than others). MiniDisk, Beta, Atrac, UMD, Memory Stick, Super Audio CD, MMCD (pre-DVD super CD). A bunch of bleh as far as media formatting. Still, playing Xenogears unnoticed in class is pretty sweet... As far as proprietary formats, apparently Sony has put out seven. All of which have failed (some for better reasons than others).

MiniDisk, Beta, Atrac, UMD, Memory Stick, Super Audio CD, MMCD (pre-DVD super CD).

A bunch of bleh as far as media formatting. Still, playing Xenogears unnoticed in class is pretty sweet…

They sell you on some clunky wanna be itunes Sony Media Manager software and then when the update comes out they want another 10 bucks. Forget you Sony, I hope every format Sony comes up with dies a slow, financially painful death...oh...thats right they already have.

If they put out Xenogears for PSP, and I had a PSP, I'd never get any work done. Well not any more than what I do now. Aw man, I loved Xenogears.
