Anyway I only pointed out the Go as an example of what Sony is likely to do in regards to old UMD games: absolutely nothing. If you bought the games on PSN good for you, you get them on the Vita as well. If you bought them on UMD on the other hand you better keep your old PSP cause that's the only way to play them.

But they'll just say "It's a new console, we don't care about the old, failed format! You can buy it AGAIN in the store." I like to revisit my games, so I love backwards compatibilty D: |

Go was a nice idea, just poorly executed and I loved my go until recently when I sold it in preparation of Vita.
Since Go came out I've actually start to only purchase the digital version just because I sense the shift of what all major players were thinking. My grips with this is that price drop on older games were to slow and that physical games starts to have extra contents bundled in (OST) for the same price where personally I think the digital version should be $5-10 cheaper to begin with. And my biggest grip was that unlike how Sony stated before that older PSP game will eventually be on PS Store, we haven't see any 3rd party supporting that. As result I'm stuck with UMD version of older games that I would be willing to trade in and even pay a few more bucks to turn it into digital. (Already done that with the few transition games that I own that have the digital counterpart)

Well you can digitalize your UMDs yourself easily ... if your PSP is hacked that is. But I doubt the file will work on the vita |

Rumour are that Vita will be release in the US in october, IIRC that the other big holiday the american have, where kids get money.
Funnily enough some UK retailer have it listed for either the the 28/Oct or 01/Sep, blockbuster and gamestop.co.uk. engadget are reporting that current design has passed the FCC process. Quote:
Question is, will DD become the dominant way for 3rd parties to publish their game on the Vita. Pretty sure the costs for Vita's NVG cards are higher than UMD. |

That's pretty close if true. With a birthday in November might be able to get some cash to help get one .
Have to say unlike when the PSP came out I'm actually looking forward to Vita (name helps ). Some good looking launch titles and just interesting upcoming games has me looking forward to it.

Hmm.. no Vita until next year for us, source eurogamer
Apparently software offering at launch is the main issue for delay. Considering that the psp is still topping the sales charts in japan and it still has games coming, a delay might be a good thing for 3rd parties. |

Heu... I hear(not a sure rumor) that with the Vita, you can play a PS3 game(with obviously less graphics and power capacities)on it, and once you're at home, you can continue to play on your PS3, and using the same save file... Just wondering if it's true or not...

Silicon chips have advanced pretty fast in the last few years, thanks to the smart phone explosion and other applications. Remember the ps3 (launched 2006!) is technically outdated, so i would not be a surprise if the Vita outruns the ps3 in real applications. |

EDIT: also the developers are saying that it's very easy to port games from the PS3 to the Vita (sort of like the PSP and PS2 actually) and Kojima Studios actually showed Metal Gear Solid 4 running on the game (but it was just an example, there doesn't seem to be any plans to actually release the game on the Vita).
