Because UMD is dead. It's not gonna happen, just forget about it and move on.

And what about the physical medium itself makes it dead? Thats just something sites have been saying in reference to the software not selling and high pirate rates. Nothing about UMD really is a failure. I'm positive costs to make them are ridiculously low now and UMD is still harder to pirate then DD :P

It's dead because what UMD was really trying to do is become used outside of the PSP. A BLU UMD would try to do the same.

It's not cost effective otherwise. Flash carts already have more space than UMD. And while a BLU UMD could potentially, currently, be cheaper than the same size flash cart, that won't last long, esepcially with the extra fees associated with that new standard.

It was a nice try by sony to try and create UMD, I kinda liked the idea in a sort of 20th century way, but its tech is now far inferior to current gen carts.
