Sony Details Their PSPgo UMD “Solution” *Updated*
greg | September 24, 2009
Update: Oh man, maybe it is worse than I thought… Check this out, by way of MCV:
Sony is not currently planning to bring its newly announced PSPgo Rewards scheme to North America. The service was announced yesterday for European territories… An SCEA representative has revealed the company will support both the new handheld and the standard PSP.
“We have a dual platform strategy,” a Sony representative told IGN. “PSPgo is the latest offering in our portable entertainment products targeted for the digitally savvy and early adopters who are looking for an easy way to experience entertainment and a wide variety of digital content.
“We will continue to be committed to our existing PSP users by offering over 16,000 pieces of digital content including games, minis, movies, television shows and SensMe, the new music application as well as UMDs.”
What a bummer. I was looking forward to 3 free games.
My bad… I misunderstood the original cited source.
Let me try this again… Anyone who owns an UMD-supported PSP is entitled to participate in the “PSPgo Rewards” program. First you register your new PSPgo on the PlayStation Network; the program ends March 31st 2010. Once you do that, insert any UMD in the old PSP and log in to PSN. You will then be emailed a promo code redeemable for 3 games of your choice – any 3 from the 17 that is.
That’s all right. It’s certainly better than what I originally thought.
Eurogamer has the complete game list too:
- Buzz!: Brain Bender
- Buzz!: Master Quiz
- Daxter
- Echochrome
- Everybody’s Golf PSP
- Killzone: Liberation
- Lemmings PSP
- LocoRoco
- MediEvil
- Patapon
- Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice
- Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters
- Resistance: Retribution
- SOCOM: US Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3
- Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror
- Syphon Filter: Logan’s Shadow
- WipEout Pure
- new source: eurogamer
A solution? Hardly. I hope you haven’t purchased any more than 3 UMDs in the past however many years. Sony’s plan: to offer three (3) full game downloads to those who have purchased the new UMD-less PSPgo.
So here’s the apparent scenario… You go to the store, buy the [overpriced] PSPgo, bring home your new hand-held with no games whatsoever. Grab your old PSP, put in a UMD of the game you wish to download, register for “PSPgo rewards” via the PlayStation Store, and shortly thereafter you’ll receive a redeemable promo code. Log into the store again, this time from your PSPgo, enter said promo code, and download the full game.
According to the source, Sony is only offering 17 titles come launch time. Some of which include: Killzone: Liberation, Everybody’s Golf, LocoRoco, Patapon, and Echochrome. I sure hope GTA and WipEout is in that list.
Hell, maybe someone will hack the whole reward system by “spoofing” the inserted UMD. I wouldn’t mind replacing some legitimately purchased shit games with new ones.
What are your thoughts?

Lol… that sounds retarded
Why only 3???
Wow… that’s bunk. Yea, lets hope that you can spoof the game ID.
Great idea $ony!
Totally stupid, how many people are going to “upgrade” from a regular psp to the psp go and use this system?
How professional… How many people will even bother to go through all that trouble? I mean, the people who actually know what they are doing will, but not the 10 and 12 year olds or the less-computer-literate people. The whole thing is like an extremely lame “Oh we are sorry for your inconvenience, take this shitty deal we came up with and shut up.” That game ID DESERVES to be spoofed.
Beyond popular net-belief, sony doesnt have to do anything. Its a system based on downloadable games, if you want to play UMD’s then buy a psp. If you want a 16gb online downloadable system, get a pspgo. Otherwise STFU and continue to pirate all your games like we know you do.
Stop acting like a spoiled child who just got his favorite toy taken away.
This isn’t how I read the story elsewhere. The story I heard was that if you buy a go register it, then plug in a previous version PSP you get 3 free games as an upgrade reward from the list of 17.
This is seperate to any UMD upgrade program.
So this is Sony handing out 3 free games for anyone “upgrading” to a go, in adition to the time limited free Gran Turismo offer. All in all a pretty good deal.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/three-free-games-for-pspgo-upgraders
I think you’ve got the idea a bit wrong greg. You can have any three of the seventeen games regardless of whether you’ve purchased the original UMD of it or not. The only stipulation is that you have any UMD of some sort in the PSP’s drive and you register the old PSP before March 31 2010.
Oh yeah just to add to that. I have to wonder if I’d get 6 free games if I registered both of my PSPs.
Oh its a have, get this the free games are really very average games!:
* Buzz!: Brain Bender

What if you own these already, and i mean own them, not have copies of them. LOL
well, sounds good to me. own 1 game, get 3 free? thats cool.less i missunderstood.
SOCOM FTB 3? Nice! At least there is one good game on there.
Thats a misprint it is FTB 1, aswell as the fact that FTB 3 wont be out before this thing is launched.
So what is stoping you from renting the game from blockbuster/gamefly, and useing it to activate this…
Own the game for the price of renting it?
Or am I missing the point….
Blockbuster’s near me do not offer PSP games anymore.
This comment though is a win. Now you can own the game for renting it lol!
just buy a game from game stop register and then return it the same day they’ll give you your money back then alls free
Well that’s a lame list. Even if it is three free games, the free games are pretty crappy. The good games on the list, I bet most people have already finished on their older PSPs and have stopped playing them altogether. Where’re the newer games? Where’s my Persona, my MHFU that I’m still playing? Why not include Patapon 2 or any of the games that’s already up for DL on the PSN!?
this is a step in the right direction,but it’s only a baby step. if they had given you a choice of 3 PSN+3 of those, i might be tempted, but those games are pretty shitty.
Sony needs to face that the scene is what is kept up the sales of the PSP, not the mostly mediocre games that are released for it.
Lol hey Resistance Retribution is about the only good game I see but who gives! GO CFW FIRMWARE heheh… >:]
How the hell do you have a PSP game list with no Monster Hunter?
Or GT PSP…
Cause the game is too much fun so the customer will be getting too much than what sony is wanting to give out.
Sony wants to try to rip you off by having crap games, but they make it sound like “WOO HOO 17 games to pick from What a great deal!!!!”
This new psp is a stupid move for sony… How many people actually have a wireless router? I only know of one other person bsides me.
Imagine going in to the Games stores here in the UK, and stand in there, downloading your games from PS network, the guy walks over to you, and says, can i help you sir?, oh its ok, i just got what i wanted, what was that sir?, i just downloaded my game using your wireless connection and walk back out the store, now that would go down very well, in stores, especially if they don’t sell PSP Go’s in that store. :o) LOL
If thats what you really wanted to do you could do it from outside the store. The signal doesnt stop at the front door, but you would need the WEPkey in the first place, unless it was left unencrypted.
Walk outside of your house and hit scan in the network settings of your PSP, when I do this it looks as if everyone of my nieghbors does, now if you live in a more rural area you wont get the same results but I live in typical suburbia
I know, i am only having a laugh, i have a wireless router at home anyway.
But it would be great to do that, just to see there faces in there. LOL
seriously, basically everyone has one.
@Rustcoal
Almost evry person who has set up a DSL-contract in the last 4 years has a wirelessrouter.
but thats not the point.
who of the PSP owners will pay 250 $ / € for bluetooth ? i guess less then 1 %
You can use the Media-Go Software on your pc to buy and install games on any up-to-date psp. So all you need it the cable that comes with the psp :P
Hmm ppl that own a wireless router? well tons considering that’s how you get wireless internet…
well this is a start by Sony, but honestly, the games on those list arent good except for RR. i wouldn’t waste any sleep over it.
about the wireless internet thing, well in urban areas, wireless is on a rapid rise. i work at STAPLES, and i can tell u, every week we sell at least 3-4 routers. in rural areas, its not so popular, but in urban environments, almost every single street has them lol. my high school has campus wide coverage all unprotected.
SOCOM ftb3? For free with two other games?
That’s not even out yet, I thought? Sure they don’t mean ftb2?
Where the fuck is newest cfw solution???????????
This site promised it on the 24th of september, if they cant deliver, they shouldnt promise!
Where did psp-hacks promise that?
Dude read this on the front page under the section…
“Custom Firmware 5.55 LDX BETA Released *Updated*
greg | September 21, 2009″
They say, “The full version due is out September 24th. Check back.”
Go back and read it. It was a proven fake so greg pulled the download. DUUUURRRR
You are right! You should demand your money back.
LOL… they are going to give away 3 for anyone to upgrade to PSPgo.. I know why. They knew that PSPGO will be downfall and underrated sell someday.
gran turismo iso is out. no way to play that gem yet though.
those games sucks! they should get GTA and MAnhunt 2 and The Warriors for psp go download. those games r the best!
There are probably certain legal hurdles in offering the games this way. That may be why there aren’t more available.
What a great steaming pile of horse shit, does sony give a shit about any of their consumers? So they overprice the PSP Go, make the shittiest UMD conversion program i’ve ever layed eyes on AND charge an extra £5 on any downloadable game than what you’d pay in the stores?
Awesome sony, awesome.
know what’d be easier than going to the store and taking the game back and getting your money back ? just go round to a mates house and register your shit up there and download the game and it wont cost a penny.
What a great idea Sony! By spending no money out of your pocket, you provide so little value to the customers.
Maybe you can get gamespot to buy the games. $15 for the whole lot unopened if you are lucky.
It gets worse.
Sony canceled this this morning. No umd solution at all now.
Fuck Sony
Fuck DA
and, Facebook user/loser.
Im holding a Burn Your PSP day at the Sony head office on the eve of the Go launch. Feel free to bring your PSP’s to burn it in our epic bon fire, so that we can give our psp’s the final solute they deserve before their ashes shit on the front steps of the Sony execs.
We have hotdogs and sausage rolls provided for all and kerosene is available free of charge. For $5 we’ll convert your psp into a molotov cocktail bomb incase the riot police squads decide to show up.
Viva La Revolution!
Lol, what did I do to you?!
I will be there with my boyfriend, he wants to burn his psp in protest aswell. I will be dressed in a princess peach costume in outrage of Sony, so you can easily spot me out if you want to say hello.
THE REVOLUTION STARTS WITH YOU!
By the way, I have to make a 1 hour train ride and a 15 minute bus ride to get there, but its worth it!
Yo DowMaMai! I’m happy for you and imma let you finish but other people had way better ideas then yours!
OF ALLL TIME!
hahahahah sweeet Mav.
that is a great idea, but wtf i have games that arnt on tht list
Also, this deal is only available in Europe, or so I’ve heard. No deal for the American or Japanese markets, which basically makes this into a steaming pile of shit. Smaller screen, huge price tag (at that rate, might as well get the PS3 Slim), uncomfortable controls, and the fact that we’re paying for a service that’s already available on our normal PSP’s. I’ll pass.
ONLY AVAILABLE IN EUROPE.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUU
BOO!!! The PSP-Go isn’t worth anything to me until it’s hacked.
I urge y’all to not buy a PSP go. It is not a justifiable purchase at the present time, because an unhacked psp is like being born without arms and legs. So stay away from the go, at least until it’s hacked, or a full PSP SDK is released publicly (no limits on using the hardware when making programs).
I think their just having issues figuring out a way that they could transfer existing umd’s without ppl abusing it. I see the PSPgo more as a system for ppl that dont already have a psp, like the fact that the new sexy ps3 slim came out dosnt mean im going to go out sell my old ps3 to “upgrade” to the slim. I just think some ppl are getting a little too heated over this topic.
