Yesterday brought news of 3 free digital versions of games for PSP owners wishing to buy a PSPgo. An interesting incentive but many were holding out for the promised scheme to transfer their existing UMD games to the memory-only PSPgo. Now however, Kotaku has been in contact with a SCEA (Sony of America) who had the unfortunate job of delivering this statement: “We were evaluating a UMD conversion programme, but due to legal and technical reasons we will not be offering the programme at this time.” Technical? Could we not post off our UMDs and be sent digital versions instead? Or maybe Sony stores have a ‘drop in’ centre? The questionable legality of it all puzzles me also but not being a man of law I guess it would! It’s odd to think that if we relinquish our old UMDs for a digital version that would cause any legal issues. There is still hope that being in Europe, we may have differing laws relating to such a transition. Fingers are being crossed but I’m betting those fingers will be disappointed.
