PSP Owners Get Discounted Downloads For Vita
Sony just announced a UMD Passport program for the PlayStation Vita in Japan. Hopefully this program will migrate to the U.S.
According to Andriasang, starting December 6 (more than a week before the system launches), Japanese PS Vita buyers will be able to downloaded versions of UMD games they already own, at a discounted rate.
Getting the discount is a simple as 1,2,3…4:
- Download a UMD Registration Application from PlayStation Store to your PSP.
- Boot up the UMD Registration Application from your PSP's XMB menu and insert the UMD game you want to register into the system.
- Follow the prompts to register your UMD disc with your PSN account.
- You can then download the downloadable version of your game at discount price.
Right now UMD Passport has only been announced for Japan, but we hope to hear details about a similar program for Western gamers soon.
