That's Superboy, not Smallville.

 

Actually, no. Doug was correct. While Warner was indeed releasing
Season 1 of SUPERBOY this past week, the release mentioned here
is a combo-package of the first seasons of SMALLVILLE, LOIS & CLARK
and THE ADVS OF SUPERMAN.

Sorry man, I'm replying to you because it says the original is too old
and has been closed.

Looks like this is 90% the same as the old A&E release.

Heck yeah!

UMD is the disc format for the hand-held PSP (Playstation Portable),
they cannot currently be used on any other device, including the PS2.
