Sony is launching a currently Japan-only initiative dubbed UMD Passport that will allow existing UMD owners to purchase digital conversions of titles they already own at a discount for PS Vita. Previously, the idea was merely being considered, but now it’s official.
How does it work? The program, which is run on a PSP — presumably for
verification purposes, prompts users to register their UMD disc by
following the on-screen instructions. From there, the title will display
on the PS Store at the discount price.
Sony has offered up a complete list of eligible titles,
with prices ranging from the 500 to 1500 yen mark ($20 US). Bare in
mind the program has not been announced for other regions at this time.
Given currency rates and licensing, pricing and available titles would
of course differ if SCEA and SCEE roll out equivalents.
