Sony will introduce UMD-to-Digital Program for the PSP |
Listed in: News, Games Tags: psp umds, sony psp, UMD, umd conversion, umd conversion program
Quell your initial excitement just a little, because this program is NOT the way for you to convert your UMDs for the PSP into digital downloads for the Vita (at least not yet anyway).
So far the program has only been confirmed for Japan, as you can see below, but you could expect that the initiative will be extended to international Sony PSP customers as well.
This is not a new concept, with Sony having approached the idea earlier, but shelved the idea due to slipping PSP sales.
But, with the Playstation Vita release up on us, Sony is going ahead with the idea.
The service will be called the "UMD Passport" and will require you to download the UMD conversion program from the Playstation Store to your PSP.
After this, the steps are simple (not really). You need to then register the game with the PlayStation Network, pay a certain fee for the UMD-to-digital conversion (which will differ per game) and then download it.
The fee for the UMD-to-digital conversion will differ between publishers as Sony is giving them the right to determine what price they charge.
In the Sony press release they have said that the price will be reasonable, with Japanese PSP users looking to pay between 500 and 1500 yen per UMD conversion (between $6.50 and $20).
No word on how Sony could stop you from handing the UMD around to your friends to enable to digital conversion on their PlayStation Network account, but that will most likely come out in time.
Not all publishers will be available, as Sony will not be enforcing the program, but the press release did confirm that bigger publishers such as Capcom, SEGAAAA and Square Enix will be making their games available for digital conversion.

Surely if you plan on say taking the Vita on holiday with you, it's really not going to kill you to take the PSP as well?

In this system you could just get it on the Vita, stop carrying the UMDs and PSP.
Also, it would be better playing some games on Vita like Gods Eater Burst, Shinobido, Monster Hunter, etc. games that would be better with two analog sticks.
The only problem is that these still cost too much seeing as the person would own the game already.

For this, I will be waiting on purchasing a vita until it can be modded to play my umd games.

You would think the conversion would be a fixed charge, I really can't see any justification as to why it should differ per title.
