11/11/2011, If you currently own a PSP and have a collection of games that are on UMD discs, we’ve got some good news for you. You’ll be able to play most of those games on the PlayStation Vita when it goes on sale. While the Vita doesn’t have a drive for you to insert your UMD games, Sony will be launching the UMD Passport program that will let you download your […]

10/11/2011, Prior to the PS Vita existed the PSPgo, which was an expensive upgrade for players who may have invested heavily in UMD games for their PSP. Due to the not-so-significant update of the PSPgo compared to the PS Vita, it just did not make sense, but now with the PS Vita seeing huge improvements and new features, undoubtedly there will be plenty of PSP owners who are looking forward to […]

01/06/2011, The issue of being unable to play UMD-only games on the PSPgo has been a sore point to many PSPgo owners, and someone might have a solution to that now, though it’s an unofficial solution, of course. Hackers out there have released a Homebrew Enabler for the PSP firmware 6.31 and 6.35. Using that, hackers were able to get the Prometheus ISO Loader program running on the disc-free console, allowing […]

06/09/2010, While the sales figures of Sony’s PSPgo were never officially revealed, the consensus is that sales of the device were far from overwhelming. In a recent interview, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) boss, Andrew House, admitted that they learnt a lot from the PSPgo. While many folks were disappointed with the lack of a UMD drive, essentially forcing them to ditch their previously purchased games, Andrew House admitted that one […]

01/24/2010, You’re most probably not going to be able to disassemble a PSP Go in less than 2 minutes, but if you’re looking for a quick stop-motion video on how to disassemble your PSP Go (for whatever reason you might have), we’ve managed to find one that’s pretty cool, and educational too (if you like disassembling stuff). Sadly the reassembly part of the video isn’t going to help you much, but […]

12/02/2009, Word went around this morning that Logitech is working on a UMD drive add-on for the PSP Go, but apparently this is but a false rumor since Logitech has released a statement stating that they aren’t working on such a device. We don’t think it would do too well if released, either, since it would certainly bulk up the PSP Go and hence going against the design flow which meant […]

09/26/2009, There is some bad news for existing PSP owners who are looking to upgrade to the PSP Go when it’s released. Sony has revealed that it is ditching the UMD conversion plan. It was previously suggested that folks who had original UMD copies of their games would be entitled to get free PSN downloads of the game, so that they’ll be able to play it when they upgrade to the […]

06/04/2009, Sony has confirmed that some UMD games will become available via the Playstation Network. For people who already own a bunch of UMD games, Sony will create a program to help owners get a digital copy of a game that they already own in UMD form. Sony Believes that 20-25% of PSP 1000 (the original) owners might upgrade to the PSP Go. The details have not been completely worked out, […]
