Forums - Sony - Play your old UMD's on Vita!

Now that I think about it. How will Sony know if someone has the game for the PSP?

I mean, if they look at they PSN history to know who has played X game and send them a redeem code to buy it again for cheap, they could be sending it to the people who played it without buying the game (either pirates, people who rented it or played with a friends copy).

And if they use something like asking consumers to send them the games, or the serial code or even if they team with game stores to exchange the UMD for the code (or just to show that you have the game, without losing it), why do these users have to pay again if it has been proved that they have it?

Special price probably means $10 or more. But heres hoping It's $5 or less.

It will be interesting to see what Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft do come next batch of consoles to re-download Games on Demand, Wii Ware, PSN and XBLA titles. I bet you can do those for a "special price".



It's just that simple.

The easiest way to do this is have the customers mail their UMD disc to Sony; then Sony will email you a download redeem code. Sony can even refurbish these UMDs and sell it again.....


yeah but it will cost sony big time for bandwidth

hopefully it will be like a small peripheral that is JUST big enough for the umd to fit inside that attaches to the back of the vita like a backpack

i can see it being priced at $14.99


VITA has a back touchpad which the used will have to remove and attach again.people wouldn't like a fat vita either
