PlayStation®3 General Discussion

Woludn't it be cool if they had UMD drives for the ps3 and a programme that would allow you to play your psp games and also watch old UMD moveis so all that money spent wont be a wasted when sony cancels the production on the psp when the psvita comes out?

[Renze · Accepted solution]

They won't be stopping production of the PSP. In fact, they released a new low-cost model of the PSP at the same time they announced the Vita.

So they are not going to stop the production off the psp e1000

We just released that E-1000 model and we would be cutting off our foot if we just said stop making them.

Anyways the PSP will be around for a little longer and I for 1 am looking forward to the VITA.

Unless I'm wrong on this PSP games are 100% compatible which means companies like Atlus aren't even going to stop releasing new games which they haven't. There's no reason that the Vita shouldn't mean a sudden death of the PSP.

What I am awaiting on myself is what's happening about the comic store. I didn't understand why the updates were cut off to begin with when it's probably just going to start back up for the Vita and still be compatible for psp.

To give you an idea of product longevity - the PS3 came out in March 2007, and the PS2 is still in production.

And PS2's are still one of the most played consoles
