So does anyone know off the top of their head how much it'll cost to get PSP games downloaded to PSN so we can play on PSV (fucking PS...)? there's a few games I'd like to transfer over (FFI, FFII, FFIV) that I own on PSP that I'd be willing to pay for again to get them transferred. it would be so awesome to have Final Fantasy I, II, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, and IX all on one system at one time, even more awesome if I had FFX once the remake is released.

I do love my Final Fantasy...which is why XIII and XIII-2 were so disappointing.

I don't think it's confirmed that you can transfer your games. As of now it's only for Japan.

Yeah, as many will recall, when the PSP Go was released, there was a lot of talk regarding transfering UMDs to PSN licenses that never panned out. I don't even think that happened in Japan. That may have also gone a long way in explaining why the Go never really had much of a chance to gain traction with consumers; it was essentially set up so as to appeal only to those who were not previous PSP owners with existing UMD collections. 

While it would be very welcome, I'm not actually holding my breath on this one happening in NA. If it does, fantastic; I'll probably end up dumping my UMDs altogether and that PSP will become nothing more than an MGS collectable. I doubt they'd do a physical turn in program (mail in UMDs for PSN license codes) due to logistics (WB did an interesting swap HD-DVD for BD program a few years back when HD-DVD tapped out), but I wouldn't have any issue with paying maybe $5 per game to transfer the license if it meant I could play all my old PSP UMD games on the PSV. 

I'm content to forget that the UMD format ever existed.
