Its impossible to play UMDs, period. Sony is not "stopping" you to use them on a regular PSP which they are meant for.

However it would still be nice to be able to play some psp games on it. That is a feature of the system. I just cannot use it, because sony will not allow it.RabidWeezle wrote:I don't know about you, but I didn't buy my Vita expecting to play games I bought on UMD. I mean, I wasn't an idiot, I saw it didn't come with a UMD drive. It came with a memory card. So I said, well, better keep the psp2000 around for the psp games. Same topic came up with the PSP Go, and I didn't buy one. I bought this because I saw that I could play new awesome games with a touch screen, a rear touch pad, dual thumbsticks, a crisp oled display and a nicer game cartridge format with small cartridges so it makes the system more portable. If you bought your vita expecting it to play umd's, then you need to research a little more before shelling out 300 for a device. Would it be nice if you could play those old umd's? Sure, if sony did the same program they did in japan with the trade-in for psn copies of your games. But they didn't. But the focus on this new system was new games, new hardware, better graphics, etc. I bet, if sony did the program here to trade in your umd's for psn downloads, and they had every single game on psn, we would still be sitting here having this discussion, because it has nothing to do with backups.rog wrote:Well it's currently impossible to play the games i've bought for my psp on my vita, so backups would be really nice.
