Though it faced some troubled times over the last few years, the PSP's Universal Media Disc is showing impressive resilience as a portable movie format. Case in point, today's announcement that MTV will become bring some of its classic programming to the PSP-exclusive format.

The discs, which will be available for $14.99 at retailers nationwide starting today, are:

"Beavis & Butt-head: The Mike Judge Collection," Vol. 2 and 3
"Jackass," Vol. 2 and 3
"Wildboyz," Vol. 1 and 2
"Viva La Bam," Vol. 2, 3, and 4
"Aeon Flux: The Complete Animated Collection" (2-disc set)

No word yet on whether or not current MTV hits like ... uh ... current hits ... um ... there's no word what other classic MTV hits will be released on UMD, but we'll let you know if and when we hear.

Only Aeon Flux and Beavis and Butthead worth the money...

Jackass, Wild Boyz and Viva La Bam... mediocre shows for ignorant and caveman-like people.

Dude! Harsh! Jackass is great when you're in the mood for it.

They're all good TV

The only gripe is that none of them have a damn thing to do with, you know, music

Leobebes: Jan 24th 2008; 6:22PM

Hey I like Wild Boys! National Geographic + Jackass = brilliant!

How can you not laugh at Steve O and Party Boy getting an Orangutan drunk as hell and then trashing their hotel room. Comedy Gold!

Throw the Maxx onto a umd and we will talk.

Monkeydog: Jan 24th 2008; 5:34PM

Blasphemy, no Daria.

JRM: Jan 24th 2008; 5:37PM

weren't those..."classics" on 4:3 aspect ratio?

I hope they utilize the whole screen if they can.

Akamaru: Jan 24th 2008; 5:40PM

The PSP lets you choose the aspect ratio for any video you watch either on UMD or Memory Stick Duo. Family guy UMD is 4:3 but looks great in widescreen. Peter looks even fatter :-)

Gotta say... I'm a sucker for the Wild Boyz...

I don't care what you think Fernando! Waaaaaaaaaah (runs to hide in bedroom)

Fernando Rocker: Jan 24th 2008; 5:50PM

My best MSN-Joystiq friend likes Wild Boys =(

It never gets old seeing Steve-O getting pinched/bitten/stung/kicked/shot? in the butt/nuts/face.

Plus I like monkeys!

The only classic MTV programming is actual music videos

Markusdragon: Jan 24th 2008; 7:50PM

What about Sifl and Olly?

StarFoxA: Jan 24th 2008; 5:51PM

Who pays for TV shows anymore?

evilJaze: Jan 25th 2008; 11:43AM

You mean people EVER paid for them??

generic: Jan 24th 2008; 5:54PM

Liquid Television!

No wait... Liquid Television on DVD!

Screw this UMD noise.

NATO_Duke: Jan 24th 2008; 6:03PM

I would be shocked if that many people purchased any of these, or any other thing for that sake, on UMD.

IMHO, UMD is the Betamax of our generation. (Yes, more so than HD-DVD may become)

Look at all those pretty acronyms.

NEWS FLASH: most PSP games are on UMD

NATO_Duke: Jan 25th 2008; 3:30PM

Dude, you know what I am talking about here. Good try though.

robotplague: Jan 24th 2008; 6:20PM

No joke...I forgot UMD existed.

No joke...I forgot Nintendo DS game cards existed.

Rask: Jan 24th 2008; 6:25PM

The term "classic" is used very loosely here..

Video Killed the Radio Star: Jan 24th 2008; 6:42PM

I wish MTV would die already.

I can't believe people are still watching that shit.

Garbage!!!

DangerMouse: Jan 24th 2008; 6:43PM

I got a 5 dollar UMD to try it out once. that'll be my last UMD purchase ever.

mcatrage: Jan 24th 2008; 6:45PM

Obviously an oxymoron.

Squirrel3D: Jan 24th 2008; 7:20PM

Two things that's just screaming to die...UMD and MTV.

DarkTetsuya: Jan 24th 2008; 8:59PM

"Dude! Harsh! Jackass is great when you're in the mood for it."

Trust me, if you've been on the net as long as I have, the *last* thing you want to encounter at the end of the day is *moar* jackassery.

As a game show nut, I am required to express frustration at the lack of love for Remote Control.

Whoa, they still make UMDs?!
