UMD Movies failed because of the pricetags. $15-25 for a UMD movie that had no features compared to a DVD was a ripoff, despite how much I love my PSP.

UMD itself is not a failure, it was UMD movies that failed.

As for Blu-Ray, its nothing like UMD. Only the PSP could read UMD, which limits its market appeal. Blu-Ray will work the same way (in terms of appeal) as DVD has. There will be portable BR players, stand-alone BR machines, BR technology in computers, and others.
