A dual-layered UMD allows for 3.6GB. That's 5 CDs worth. I'd say that my list could fit on there easy with a bit of PSP-oriented compression

That much? Really? Geez... Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops should've went Dual Layered and went for the actual voice overs on the radio conversations.

That's not correct.

That'd be a "double sided" UMD, as a single layer on the UMD holds 900mb (thus making a dual layer your everyday 1,8gb UMD)

I don't see why the PSP is afraid to implement the double UMD system. I mean, look at it this way... Let's say they do it PC style. You got an install disc and a play disc. (Or install side and play side. You install 1.8 gigs of the game onto the memory stick (since memory sticks come at as large as 16 gigs today, it shouldn't be a big deal), then you play the rest off the UMD, and Sony can still avoid piracy problems since you'd need the play disc for at least authentication purposes. I think it could work very well.

wiki sez : 900 MB (single layer), 1.8 GB (dual layer)

We've cleared that up: "That'd be a "double sided" UMD"

There are already a few titles on the system that ships on two UMD discs.
Also, I'd prefer it if game installs "kept themselves away from portables" (It's bad enough that optical media and nasty load times has found its way there)

I was at some point in time thinking about something similar, which would've been a dedicated memory stick to a game, packed with specific data for the game (which could "on paper" be hard to pirate/replicate), but then I just realized that the darned thing already drains enough battery power while accessing just one of the two storage mediums it supports, doing dual access would just kick the battery time down even more.

Think there's been something about most titles being available both on UMD and through digital distribution in the future, though. (Probably as a result of the huge custom firmware user group and how that's one of their favorite features, ISO loading, and also how the UMD in general has proven to be a bit of a failure.)

Well, a lot of the games have already been ported for download on the PS network. I have Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror, Jeanne D'Arc, Puzzle Quest, all on my memory stick.
I gotta say, Puzzle Quest is the best game you can download. It's a good game, and it's only like 60 megs. Waste of a UMD disc, but great on a memory stick.

Which games ship on two UMD's?

Clannad, at least, but I think Falcom has a couple(?) of games out on two UMDs too (One is at least the Second Chapter of Legend of Heroes VI)

[Biohazard EX]

Clannad never came out in North America, did it?
Either way, what we need is like, a good long old school style RPG, to play on more than one disc, to give us that old school 80 hours of gameplay with a big, epic storyline... But RPGs aren't the same anymore. People prefer button mashing hack and slash over turn based combat. No world maps. No random encounters.

Ah okay. I got my facts mixed up. But it could still probably work. I wouldn't mind them releasing a two or three disc pack with a shitload of the RE games ported to PSP. That would make my day.
