Yeah if you read it, they are retiring it in order to get people to convert to the Vita.
Similar to Nintendo killing a lot of the services for the DS

Well I never said games bud. Just the system is being discontinued so they won't produce any more new ones.

Games...who knows. Maybe a while longer. Like your example..look at the PS2 :rotf:

Yeah games are still being released in japan for the psp look at god eater 2 being cross platform play between psp and the vita.

That is good to know since I have a PSP! I think collectors 10 or 20 years from now will pay big bucks for it. Also the ability to use UMD disc is a plus.

I kinda regret buying soo many psp games back in it's heyday...and don't even get me started on UMD movies. -_-
