Sony’s PS Vita promises a new world of gaming while on the move, with a portable console that is the equal of the domesticated PlayStation 3. But the gaming landscape is different to that when the PlayStation Portable was launched.It’s not a small unit, packing a 5 inch touch sensitive OLED screen between the controls, but neither does it feel too big.
If you’re one of the ever
shrinking crowd of proud legitimate owners of a library of PSP UMD’s,
the Vita is mercilessly kicking you to the curb if you’re living in the
US, as the UMD Passport Program that allows PSP owners in Japan get their UMD’s registered to their device and then
purchasable as a download at a discounted price WON’T be making its way.
So if you want to play your old PSP games
on the Vita, you’ll have to wait for them to his the Playstation Store
before downloading them at full price. The discounts range from getting a
game as low as 6$ all the way up to $30. Sounds like a money racket to
me, but with Sony taking some major losses in the industry in recent
times, it probably seems none other than natural to them.
Bottom line is, you may still want to cling onto that old PSP if you
want to play those old greats without paying to download them all again.
