I can see this working but I just have 1 question.

Does Sony even have the drive or the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ needed to do this.

Money yes, if you can believe it. Relative to the company as a whole it is not that expensive of a solution. Plus even though it would postpone Sony from returning to a quarterly profit, investors would see a key change in how things are going and stock would rise. Drive though, probably not.

Very good plan, I agree about money and drive, the problem would be drive. About BC, I'd also make an optional external UMD drive, to be plugged and used just to load PSP games (or UMD movies) on PSV, and after it not necessary anymore, until the user wants to load something else. Considering current optical drive prices, and making it run on mains or cheap AA NiMH batteries, such device could be profitable already at $30.
