Common sense would dictate that the "digital copy" should be playable on ANY media player. But of course common sense never applies when it comes to DRM.<br /><br />I've never played games on a modded PSP, so I don't know about how fast they load, but I hear there's a considerable difference. Probably dependent on the games, some games have long loading times.<br /><br />Let's face it, no one will be able to legally transfer "ANY" UMD game. There's always going to be some UMD games that won't get the digital treatment. Will your favourite games? Depends on if your favourites are what Sony thinks is popular. But the reality is-- for a lot of us, we'll never be able to play our full game library on PSP Go. The question is, can we live with that?<br /><br /><br />later<br />donDonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13192941808275336893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1205615587463436728.post-51295846003853003142009-06-05T06:55:02.811-07:002009-06-05T06:55:02.811-07:00I don't know about Portable copy extracted fro...I don't know about Portable copy extracted from BluRay discs, but because the PSP does not read DRM-protected files, I'm not able to play the digital copy of Dark Kight that came with the DVD I bought last Fall on my PSP-2000, nor any DRM-protected song I may purchase on any Internet store.<br /><br />With respect to playing games, this is one big advantage modded PSP have over regular ones. I played LEGO Batman on both types and really appreciated how fast new stages were loading from memory stick on a modded PSP compared to using UMD. I would be really happy to upgrade to PSP Go if I could legally transfer any UMD I have into it.HerrJeffnoreply@blogger.com
