Reddit user comes across box of unreleased beta PSP games, plans to dump them all
A curious incident unraveled on a PSP related subreddit recently. A user who works with retro video games came across a box of PlayStation Portable UMDs. What makes this unique, is that most of the games are pre-production discs, meaning these are beta builds of games before they officially released in a complete state. One of the titles the user, Thebrown93, found, was "Ridge Racer English", which is a localization of the game for PSP, but dated 7 months prior to when it actually released. Among some of the "pre-production" games are Metal Gear Acid, Dragon Ball Tenkaichi Tag Team, BlazBlue, and "over 100 more UMDs". He also has multiple PS2 beta game discs, as well.
Other users were shocked at the discovery, and pleaded with Thebrown93 to dump the games so that they could be archived. Initially assuming it was a joke, he then found out that digital game backups can be done with a PSP system, and according to his claims, he's planning to purchase an older PSP system in order to back up some of the titles. More information will be updated if the poster decides to go through with his plan.
