PlayStation Vita

I'll be honest. I probably owned about 3 UMD games on PSP. Seriously. UMD were horrible. The worst format for a game ever. Worse than the Amstrad Cassette.

And PSP's are $30 used. Keep your damn PSP.Most PSP games on Vita look rubbish anyway. Your topic title implies people are forced to rebuy it. They are not.

I felt the same way. Also the form factor of the PSP made it painful for me to play games. Couldn't get used to the analog nub.

Going to PSN for PSP games hasn't been an issue for me personally.

Yeah, I don't get this. Don't rebuy them then.

Now my Vita is 100% digital… which while pricey is awesome! :D Just wish they have a 64gb card now…

Well, you *can* have 64GB ... on a PSP. It's really too bad Sony went with yet another proprietary memory format rather than (their own) MS Pro Duo or SD. It's not like the Vita is so small only a tiny card would fit.

I will bring up the same point I brought up on the 3DS boards.

Don't sell your old systems!

Seriously, people didn't sell off their Super Nintendo system and expect the N64 to play all the SNES games. I realize that Sony's backward compatibility has spoiled people, but seriously, quit selling your old systems. If you sell it, then don't expect to play your old games again. It really is that simple.
I had zero digital content for my PSP, because it wasn't an option. The games I truly valued enough to play on my Vita were worth paying for again. There are some games that aren't available on PSN that I would buy digitally because I liked them that much, mainly PoPoLoCrois. But at the same time, I still own my PSP, so it is no big deal for me to pop the UMD in and play. I can do that with my XBox, even if the 360 does not support BC for that game.
It's not a mind boggling proposal. Don't sell old systems willy nilly unless you are absolutely certain you never want to play anything on it ever again.
