Wow you're stubborn.

Go to eBay, like I said, pick "Sell an item" from your account drop menu.  Then type some game titles into the "What's it Worth" box.  Note that RPGs, like "Brave Story PSP" ($17.19 -- a bit more than $2 above PSN price), "Disgaea PSP"($29.23 -- near $15 more than PSN price), etc. tend to sell for, on average, at least what they cost in the PSN store.  And, indeed, I sold my Brave Story for 19.99, and my Disgaea for $24.99 -- I didn't even get to the average on the latter.  I charged $2.99 shipping, to boot (it actually costs me like $3.50 to ship, including the packaging though).

I'm not trying to make you mad, twesterm.  I just wanted to point out something that is a perfectly viable option... at least in my book.

The thing about using that average thing you're talking about is that it's not exactly accurate.  You say you got $25 for it on eBay except I can pick it up now on eBay for about $11 so in that case I'm going to lose $10.

I'm not really angry or trying to push you, I'm just saying eBaying all your old UMD games and then buying them again on the PSN isn't in any way at all a deal.

Well... admittedly the average is from the last 3 weeks, and prices may have dropped drastically since the PSN store update on Thursday.

I was brave enough to sell games beforehand, even taking some chances in some cases, on games I wasn't absolutely determined to keep.  I still think its a viable option -- it certainly has been for me.  I love not having to carry UMD games around with my new PSP.  Absolutely love it.  I should have done it eons ago with my PSP-2000, but it was always a tad too big to sit comfortably in my pocket anyway.
