UMDs are only good for the PSP now.
Sony before had mentioned that physical copies of PSP games would be available to Vita owners for a fee. Dubbed the UMD Passport, some, not all, PSP games will be available at a discount if you previously purchased the UMD. Except that it won't after all.
Mega publishers not on board with transfer program just yet.
Sony’s new PlayStation Vita won’t be supporting the PSP’s UMD format which has made backward’s compatibility a bit of an issue for the handheld. The proposed solution to this sticky issue was to charge gamers a reduced price to download digital copies of their PSP collection – a solution that has only been announced for Japan. Whether or not this is particularly savvy business practice is debatable, but what is sure to spark even further controversy is the absence of some major titles from the transfer program.
Sony and Nintendo giving more options for consumers.
It's the holiday season and as such, more and more deals are being released. Sony announced that the PSP will get a new bundle, set to be released on November 15, and Nintendo revealed new DSi XL bundles that will be available on November 6.
