Sony announces UMD Passport Program, will allow UMD owners to buy games for PS Vita

PS Vita

 

Sony has devised a new program that will help existing PSP owners to play their UMD-owned games on PlayStation Vita. The UMD Passport Program announced by Sony Japan will allow users to register their UMDs and in return get a discounted price for the downloadable version compatible with PlayStation Vita.

It’s a bit disappointing to pay for the game you already own but I guess it’s the premium you’re paying for playing on a better and improved console. The program will start from December 6 and the price of most of the titles will range from 500-1000 Yen but can go up to 2400 Yen for some.

Sony PlayStation Vita will be available in Japan from December 17.
