Had this conversation with a mate the other night :
Him : Can the PSP play films?
Me : Yep, you can buy them on UMD or you can hack it to play DivX.
H : How do you hack it?
M :
H : What's a UMD then?
M : It's like a DVD for the PSP.
H : But the PSP does't play DVDs.
M : No I know, it's not a DVD it's a UMD.
H : So how does it play them.
M : You put it in the PSP and you press play.
H : But where do you put it?
M : You put it in the part where games go.
H : But that's not big enough to put a DVD in.
M : No I know. It's not a DVD it's a UMD. It's like a DVD for the PSP that's the same size as a game disc.
H : So you plug the UMD player into the PSP?
M : No, the PSP is the UMD player.
H : But it doesn't play films.
M : Yes, it plays UMDs.
H : But it's only got one place to put discs and that's for games.
M : No, it's for movies and games.
H : But how do you get it to play the movies.
M : You put the disc in and press play.
H : But it doesn't play films.
M : Yes it does, it plays UMDs.
H : But where do you put the UMD player?
M : The PSP is the god-damned UMD player.
H : Where do you get UMDs from?
M : Places that sell PSP games.
H : But if they're games then they're not films.
M : No, but you can buy films on disc for the PSP and the places that sell games probably sell discs too.
H : But you can't fit a DVD into the PSP.
M : Not DVD discs, UMD discs.
H : But where do you put the player?
M : The PSP is the god-damned player, it has a built in movie player for UMD discs.
H : So does that mean I can put divx files on a UMD and play them?
M : No, because you can't buy a UMD burner.
H : So how do you put the films on a disc.
M : You don't, you buy them from a shop with the movie already on them.
H : So you can pick what films you want on it?
M : No, it's like buying a DVD only made for the PSP.
H : But there's no way to fit a DVD in the PSP.
And the conversation went on like that for about another 15 minutes until I lost my rag! It honestly made me feel like I was stuck in a deleted scene from Idiocracy!
