PSP owners: Do you have a small collection of UMD’s? Looking forward to the PSP Go’s digital only approach? With any major change up such as the move from physical to a digital only distribution method comes two sides. One side is happy. One side is not. Ignoring whatever side you choose, if you thought you’d have a sure fire way to backup or copy over your previously purchased UMD movies to digital copies for your brand spankin’ new PSP Go will have some thumb twirling to do as you wait around for Sony and their partners to get their act together. According to Sony:
We were evaluating a UMD conversion program, but due to legal and technical reasons we will not be offering the program at this time
They do note however that they are actively working on a UMD trade-in program of sorts that would allow UMD owners to trade-in their physical copies for a digital. Hardly the solution many wanted, though better than nothing I guess.
Does it bother anyone how “our property” is becoming less ours and more of a “rental” from the manufacturer?
