It's the disc format that the psp uses.
I kinda think they're dead, movie wise.

Oh.. in that case, I don't think so.
They're not really that popular.
I didn't even know what they were, lol.

UMD is a failed format, only reason it's even been made anymore is because PSP games are using it. Are new movies even being made for it anymore? If they are you probably could find a online rental for UMD's... with DVD and now Blu-Ray in regular store I doubt stores give little to any shelf space for UMD.

Yeah buy i hate to spend $20 for a movie that you will get tired of. Also is it true that you can buy a move download and save it to your pro duo card?

i doubt anyone will buy these to just rent them out, they won't be able to do that for too long but anything can happen here so you can't be sure or not whether someone decides to rent it out

No I doubt you'll ever be able rent them. Why don't you just buy them? now UMD is dead you can get them for cheaper than most DVD's. Gamestation (A UK Games store) is doing a deal where you buy 3 which are around £6 each and you get 2 free.

No nothing has been announced yet. If they do announce a PSP 2 someone will post something about it on here.
