History has repeated itself with Sony and their Playstation Portable. When it initially came out, there were movies available in their UMD formatted discs, but there was a no-porn rule that kept that sort of entertainment off the system. As time went on and the UMD format began to die, there was a reversal and porn was allowed to enter the marketplace, at least in Japan. This has ( so far ) staved off the death of the format in that nation, though it may be too little too late, as the PSP firmware is already moving away from UMD in favor of direct-download.
