I used to be against playing ps2 games on my ps3 because my reasoning was, my ps2 still works so what's the point. Whilst I love my ps3, I do sometimes find myself missing some ps2 games like Persona 4 and Final Fantasy X. Whilst I now occasionally scowl at my ps3 for not being able to play ps2 games, I am however too lazy to put together my ps2 and play said games... I don't think the same conundrum applies to the PSP/Vita relationship. it hardly takes a minute to load up a UMD on your psp so I really don't see the point of this. You don't need to set anything up, just have your psp adequately charged and you are set. I get the feeling that like me, whilst people will occasionally hunger for PSP games, people won't play that many of them once they start building up a vita collection. Failing that, you are still allowed to play the psp downloadables you had so...it's not a big deal but this is just me I guess |
The thing is, Sony already established the necessary program (UMD Passport), and their reasoning for not bringing it outside of Japan is the equivalent of David Stern using "Basketball Reasons" as a reason to not allow a trade. There has to be a bigger reason than this as to why they won't bring the program over.
Just think if PS2 games were already available on the PSN network and Sony did a PS2 Passport program allowing Japanese gamers to cheapily buy their games on the store. However anyone outside of Japan will still have to buy them at full price because "It wouldn't be worth it." in Sony's eyes.
