Disney to Release Films for Sony PSP

Disney will support the Universal Media Disc (UMD) format made specifically for the Sony PlayStation Portable unit, and will release five movies this spring, the company announced on Thursday. Disney is only the second major studio to announce support for the format other than the Sony-owned Sony Pictures unit.

The titles to be released are "National Treasure," "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl," "Reign of Fire," "Kill Bill Vol. 1" and "Hero." More films will be released later this year, the studio said. No pricing was announced for the titles, although Sony Pictures had said it would charge $20 and up for movies released in the UMD format.
