Perry “certain” there’s no UMD in PSP revamp [Update]

Terrible news if its true, pretty much means we’ll never own our own games, they’ll just be ‘rented’ from the publishers who can more or less put any limit they want on how we use them, no more second-hand market either, some stores will go under for sure, the future is looking bleak…

So a handheld Phantom?

Not really terrible news, since every console will go this way eventually. Better get used to it.

Is Dave Perry really that starved of attention that he feels the need to jeopardize his friends career by flouting NDA’s and leaking information from Sony?

Think he needs his mommy to give him a big hug them give him a swift kick up the arse.

Thats what i was on about Ecu. The future looks bleak.

He really is an egotistical C0CK!

Can’t stand his fecking smug, I’m so fecking clever cos I invented Earthworm Jim!

FECK OFF you untc

I like the sliding monitor. Dont like the sound of no UMD.
People may not want to shell out more money for 8-16 gig memory sticks, and as hard as it is to believe, not everyone is online, and if online, not everyone has hi speed internet. Try downloading 1 gig game on dial up…no thanks.

So, Perry didn’t just get this story from internet sites like this one? Apology accepted!

who the fuck has dial-up now??

“The ultimate goal, he says, is for the Playstation Portabel to go 100 percent digital.” “it would essentially kill the used game sales market.”

yeah, though you can still download games illegally.

Except, you know, it’ll be a completely new system.

What used game market? No one buys PSP games anyway.

Incorrect, I do.

Then you must be the highly talked abou no one.

noone buys used PSP games though =P

and a few buy not used games.

So….. are they going to let you trade in your UMD games for a free digital download? Hmm?

That’d be a nice idea Blerk but they don’t let you convert PS1 CDs into digital copies so I’d wager not

I buy far more games digitally than I ever though I would but being limited to *only* being able to buy by that method concerns me a little. My guess is that I’d end up buying a lot less actual games than I currently do.

And the chances of finding mint condition copies of rare titles in sales would be out of the window – I got Rez and Amplitude as part of a “3 for £10″ deal this weekend at Game but deals like that would be few and far between.

If they take the same approach Valve has with Steam to the PSP software store then they’ll do well out of this. Being nice to the people who bought UMD already might be a good idea.

It could be good, it could be a bit of a car crash. Guess we’ll have to wait and see.
