we fully expected sony pictures to release this is it, the blockbuster michael jackson concert film, on both dvd and blu-ray. however, sony has taken its plans to put this movie on discs a step further, with the surprising announcement that the movie will also be released on umd. all three versions will be in stores january 26, 2010.

both the blu-ray and dvd versions will include exclusive bonus material not found on the umd. notably absent from the blu-ray release is a digital copy of the movie, which would enable it to be watched on any psp, including the psp go. also notably absent is any mention of the umd on the site for the home release. sony must believe that umd movies sell themselves.

michael jackson's this is it will retail for $24.94 on umd ($28.96 on dvd; $39.95 on blu-ray).this is it: a movie being released on umd in 2010 originally appeared on joystiq playstation on mon, 30 nov 2009 18:15:00 est. please see our terms for use of feeds.
