* Although discs proved to be superior to cartridges as the storage medium for home consoles, the format's advantages were less pronounced on a handheld device, while its disadvantages were more so. While [=UMD=]s still offered higher capacity for developers to better execute just what they wanted to put on the system, the optical format resulted in comparatively longer loading times, louder system noise, more fragile components, and increased battery usage due to constant disc spinning, seeking, stopping, and spinning once more. Without the production volume of the established UsefulNotes/{{DVD}}s or UsefulNotes/{{CD}}s, the format didn't have the huge cost differential that made discs preferable to cartridges in the 5th console generation (and beyond). Storage of multiple games was also made less efficient, due to each UMD disc being permanently encased in an outer shell, itself usually shipped in either a flimsy cardboard sleeve when bundled with a system, or in a tall plastic case if sold separately. Additionally, [=UMD=]s were less convenient to lug around due to the nature of being discs and also larger than DS carts. While both the system and discs supported UsefulNotes/RegionCoding, only three PSP applications/games would make use of this feature (the Asian release of the ''Battlezone'' remake, as well as the Digital Comics eBook reader and Remote TV Viewer applications). As a means of combating potential piracy, all UMD movies were region coded, and couldn't play on [=PSPs=] from a different region.
