I don't think it's a such a rip-off, and I'm pretty sure that they DO put some COUNTRIES to one umd...(some small countries don't have as many things to see anyways, and each location is geographically reachable within a day...) Maybe they'll release country collections for some bigger countries... I'd buy a collection for travelling in China if one would appear.

Too bad for people in Britain, we can't take our freaking iPods on planes let alone a PSP.
