Sony reveals plans for NGP backwards compatibility

r.i.p. psp 1000 and most off all psp go

i was waiting to the release of all that great psp games to the ps3 (for me, resistance, god of war, dissidia, 3 birthday, etc)
but im thinking that would never happend.
so, with the ngp, i may finally sold to buy one.
2 things i need.
1. some method that i can create apps (like android) i thing the ps3 lacks that.
2. the first point i can live without it, but i need a hdmi output, period, no hdmi output, no ngp for me.

They really need to rethink their game plan here. No digital copies for UMD owners?

It will be hacked simply for that e.e

It looks really, really nice...I might even buy one once they are jailbroken, so long as sony is still loosing money on every one sold and trying to make it up with games.

I don't trust Sony... they said that you can redownload games free you bought from PSP lite or PSP 1000 series on the psp go then people found out that you can't because Sony doesn't allow it.

That's what I read when psp go first came out...

then what the hell is the point...this is only useful for the very few who bought into the go or couldn't hack there 3000. if i can provide proof of purchase i should be able to download my game no matter the platform.

No free copies or a good discounted percent for people that bought umd games?? kiss good by my..cheek. I will not re-buy them again.

No, you're partially correct. The games you purchased in your PSN account are yours to keep. You can download the games in your PSN account as many times as you like. The PSP can be attached/activated to your PSN account. You can delete the games and reinstall them to your contend (game saves are in the memory folder, not affected by game deletion).

For the PSP Go, Sony had this ambitious plan, "converting" your PSP UMDs to digital version so that you don't have to purchase the same games again (a lot of people already have the PSP games on UMD). Of course, the program was too complex, i.e. how do you mail the UMDs and get a digital download voucher? How do Sony verify you own the UMD or not (not borrowed or anything)? How do you get the UMDs back after verification? Who pay shipping? And what if the PSP game is not available on digital format? Heck, how does any of that even work?

This is not what the PSP2 will go through... If you already bought the PSP games on PSN for the PSPs or Go, you can download the games to the PSP2 with ease (and no, you don't have to pay again). BUT if you have PSP games on UMD, you're out of luck.

I'd like the thing to play PS2 games in emulation too. But they should be really cheap ($10).

Trophy related comments are not allowed or something? I think one of my comments got deleted, may I ask why?

*rolls eyes* how about a wifi based UDM reader for 100$ that lasts 4 hours on 2-4 AA's?

Thats what the PSP could be, you could use it as a link PSP to PSP2 and transfer your games to Memory Cards. then connect to ps3 to authorize the games.

it will never happen though.

Ah, it only works if each game has some sort of serial#... I mean I can easily borrow the game from my friend after she transferred it. It's up for exploit for sure...

how? it dose not rip the game(even then piracy is moot because it will be under used and all the PSP games have been riped already). You still need a game in the player and it connected to one PSP2 in order for it to work.

Okay, my mistake, I thought it was an one time thing. So, it's a plug-in-per-play thing then? Eh, still an ugly thing to have, lol. It's like a collection of old VHS tapes and they can only be streamed through this retro device as long as the tape is in there.

I know I know but its a stop gap measure between buying digital and BWC, the hardware should pay for itself and be under 200/150$ I mean all in all it sounds reasonable.

Sony never should have tried their proprietary UMD BS and used flash from the start.....

Flash was not that cheap then. And $ony's mem sticks cost a bomb.

COPYCATS!!!!! sony sucks they copy 3dss backwerds capability

0_o you could get 4GB for under 30$ for the average consumer they could easily get under 20 or use their own memstick design only not call it that and sell it to devs cheap, UMD was horrible and kept the system down.

Zipster!

Where have you been? Not hacking into PSN accounts then!?

;)
