Sony Explains PSP to PS Vita Game Transfer

Freedom to play PSP games on PS Vita is one promising feature of Sony’s upcoming handheld . All you need to do is to prove your ownership, and pay a few extra bucks to transfer your game from one handheld to another. Finally Sony has revealed some info regarding the program that will do the trick, and will let you continue your conquest with a different horse i.e. PS Vita. Yet there is a problem; all games will have to be re-purchased to be played on Vita, Sony said, but those who can prove via UMD that they already own games will get a discount on re-purchasing the same content digitally.

There seems to be no fixed discount, some games might cost you less and some more. Many full-price games will command a fee of ¥1,000 ($13, £8)–titles confirmed to be in this price range include Dirt 2, Gran Turismo, Dead or Alive Paradise and Patapon 3. While some other titles will cost less to transfer, some will cost considerably more–one Pachi-slot title from Daito has a fee of ¥2,400 ($31) attached to it.

The PlayStation Vita is due to launch in Japan on December 17, some other Asian territories on December 23, and finally Europe and North America on February 22, 2012.
