NO UMD Passport Program for NA

[xist]

i like how you dont mention the handhelds

I don't know how big your hands are but last time i checked the DSi was portable for most normal people.

sony doesnt realize !)you should dl psp titles on SEN for free if you register the umd's to your account 2) not even offering this service in the us is strike 2 i wonder what will be the final nail in the vita's coffin this handheld is doomed watch and see

There's this hip new thing in the English language called "periods". My brain was out of breath after reading that sentence in my head.

Also, systems with shitty last gen compatibility that have NOT failed (well, not flopped at least):

• DSi: No GBA compatibility (technically it's still in the DS family, it's not a next-gen console)
• N64: None at all
• Gamecube: None at all
• Xbox 360: Some key games didn't work on the system, issues with others.
• PS3 Slim: None at all

PS VITA IS DOOMED RUN FOR YOUR GAMING LIVES.

PS3 Slim plays PS1 games fine. That's backwards compatibility.

While we're on the subject, PSP plays PSOne games too. So does the Vita.

Well, I mean the game discs. As in, I can put a PS1 game in my PS3 Slim, and play that PS1 game fine.

That's not just backwards compatibility, that's cross compatibility. MIND IS FUCKING BLOWN.

 

[prowler]

So does the Vita.

Not yet.

Not yet.

Yet being the keyword. It's so-called "planned" support. The Wii didn't have Opera on-board at launch either - you had to buy it, and only much later it became free.

don't get rid of your psp if you want to play psp games, psv was made to play psv games not psp.

Opera was free first.

I forgot to take the "emigre style" joke before he does.

"This shouldn't be a problem since everyone bought PSP Gos anyway".

Nope, it was 500 points.

At one point in time OPERA was free for the wii. Then it became 500 points.

Edit: 'd

Fair play, but...

Opera web browser, became available on April 11, 2007 and was free until June 30, 2007. After that period, the browser had a price of 500 Wii Points. ~Wiki

.... and?
You said you had to buy Opera at first, which you was clearly wrong. (Lol @ quoting Wiki though)

 

[xist]

Anyway...........

The backlash over the program in Japan is probably part of the reason they've abandoned it. Perhaps a silly move but it doesn't seem that Sony can do anything right in regards to pleasing it's consumers and making money.

There are more sources for that info, but yeah, I stand corrected, Opera was free for a while, then 500 points for 2 years straight, then free again. Controlled Beta much?

..................

No UMD program, no backlash, no negative news articles about Sony ripping people off.

 

[Hyro-Sama]

It's not that big a deal. Most games for the PSP are already on SEN. No need to freak out.
