@oloeopia I see what you’re saying. My guess is that Sony will have a mail your old games in and receive digital downloads after they arrive. Hell, Sony might be able to use some of those UMD parts for something. It’s might work in one capacity or another.

I think he was asking how they would stop the trading of the physical game copy. Unless that was what you were referring to.

@Psytrese A system like Nintendo has in place. Right now you can save your WiiWare games on flash cards, but they only work on your system. Some sort of unique ID associated with them.

I know this section is pretty much dead, but how is it possible for them to give a service to get copies of already owned UMDs? What’s to stop people borrowing it from a friend and getting their own legitimate copy for free?

They are still supporting the UMDs. They’re making it so you can either buy the game or pay to download it, as some way of trying to stop people from downloading the games for free or whatever.

The old PSP and the new one are supposed to be sold side by side, so you can chose whether you are going to bother to use UMD or not.

I hope it speeds things up a bit, I hate those goddamn UMDs.
