PSP™ General Discussion

[MusterBuster]

Hey everyone

Just got a PSPgo? You'll be wanting to know how you can turn your UMDs into digital downloads then! Here's the info on the promotion that I have. Any questions - just ask, I'll do my best to help out

First off - you'll need a PSPgo.

Sign-in to the PlayStation®Network with your PSPgo

Then, you must sign in to PlayStation Network using your PSPgo directly via Wireless Internet. If you haven't registered a PlayStation Network account before then you will need to do so.

Download the PSPgo theme via the Store.

Launch PSN store from PSPgo. The PSP Store will display new category for the campaign called PSPgo Rewards. Activate the PSN account for that PSPgo by downloading PSPgo Registration product from the store.

Register a UMD via your PSP

Using the same account Launch the PSN Store via your PSP and browse to the PSPgo Rewards. Select to download the Rewards Slot. You will then be prompted to enter a UMD into the drive at the back of the PSP. The UMD will then be registered to the account.

Receive the voucher code via email

Providing you are eligible, you will then receive an email with a PlayStation Network Promotion Code. Please ensure that the email address associated with your PlayStation Network Account is correct and active. The email will be sent out no more than 30 days after you have registered your UMD, although it is more likely you will receive it in less than a week.

Redeem the voucher

After redeeming the voucher code via your PSPgo you will be presented with 17 games from which you select 3 to download.

Please note that you must use your PSPgo to redeem your voucher and download your 3 games. Should you use your PS3 console you will recieve error code 8010850e - copyright protection information is invalid.

Cool, thank you very much.

That explains things then.

good stuff, wish i could do it with a psp1000 lol

[beranmee]

When you say insert a UMD, is that ANY or a selection of UMDS?

Cause if it's any then i can nab Smackdown and Ridge Racer 2 right?

[m1ghtym00se]

3 games from a limited list - whoop!

I've got 16 games (most of which aren't on the rather limited list) what do I do with them? 

[Paul-H-UK]

you can do this with a PSP 1000....right?

This is bad comedy. 3 out of 17? I imagine many UMD PSP owners have far more than that.
I love to have the convenience of fast loading times, and less kit to carry about. So why not release a UMD drive which can copy UMDs to a memory card?

And what of this wonderful future of download only games and movies? Have you no compassion for the retail market. If not, how about the fact SCEE will now have full control of future PSP game prices?

A UMD Drive that could copy things onto a memory card/ PSP Go would be good - maybe they're looking into something as we speak...?

As for Sony controlling prices with digital downloads, I guess inevitably they will but there are also plans to release cards that you can buy in stores that will provide a redeem code for a digital version of the title. If Sony do that with all the main PSP releases, the stores will still be able to adopt their own prices.
