Sony has released a pricing list for its Vita Passport system, which will allow users to download digital versions of their UMD games to play on PlayStation Vita.
Prices for the digital versions of the games appear to range from £4-£12 when converted from the original Yen values. All cost are on top of the original UMD prices.
To enable the process, gamers will need to register and download the UMD Registration Application to their PSP, insert the UMD they want to register and start the application. That UMD will then be uniquely registered to that account to prevent duplication.
200 games from 40 publishers are included in the initial offering, with the most expensive game being Persona 3 at 1500 Yen. A full list of the games has been translated and posted at the NeoGaf forums.
Games registered in this way can also be played in their digital form on PSP or PSPgo.

When Sony mentioned that the Vita wouldn't support the PSP's existing UMD library, we had to wonder what would become of the little discs. Sony hinted that something was on the way for physical media aficionados at TGS, but wasn't ready to go into detail yet. Today, however, SCEJ announced the UMD Passport program -- a service that will let Japanese PSP owners register UMD games through a PSP app to secure discounts for repurchasing titles on the new console. The discounted games average between ¥500-1,000 (about $6 and $13, respectively) a pop, but can go for as high as ¥2,400. The UMD registration app hits the Japanese PlayStation store on December 6th, and Sony hopes to make the system compatible with roughly 200 titles. Hit the source links below for Sony's official press release and an initial list of Passport compatible games, in Japanese, of course.

Gamesbrief analyst Nicholas Lovell believes dedicated handhelds are doomed and that PlayStation Home is the games sector’s ‘unsung hero’ in an entertaining and at times controversial speech at London Games Conference.
In his talk he attempted to persuade the audience which company’s were going to survive the digital transition (or heroes) and which ones wouldn’t (zeros).
He persuaded 82 per cent of attendees that handheld consoles are doomed. He believes dedicated handhelds cannot compete smartphones, and that it only takes a small number of users to stop buying dedicated portables to kill the sector.
“If you are about to launch PlayStation Vita, that’s quite scary,” he said.
But he wasn’t totally down on PlayStation, and believes free-to-play games on PS Home makes it a potential goldmine for the platform holder.
But the audience was not convinced, with 59 per cent of attendees believe Home won’t survive the transition.
“Right now it is unloved and frankly laughed at,” said Lovell. “They’ve just launched a free-to-play FPS in Home. It will be big for the Free-to-play market.”
Lovell also believes Zynga is a zero. He says the company needs to drastically improve its ‘cynical marketing’, where it keeps moving customers to other games until they start spending money. It was an argument that convinced the gaming audience.
Other zeros named by Lovell included subscription MMOs, which he believes is just too risky unless you can match Warcraft numbers. “I don’t think we will see anymore subscription MMOs after The Old Republic,” he said.
He also believes THQ is a zero. He says the big is getting bigger and doesn’t see THQ as having the right brands to compete with the bug guns.
In terms of heroes, Lovell named Gaikai’s business mode ‘better than OnLive’s’ and called Amazon a hero because of Kindle, which 95 per cent of the audience agreed with.

Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi has confirmed that GT5 players are set for regular DLC updates, and that Gran Turismo 6 is in development.
 "Of course we're working on GT6 already," he told IGN, as he had previously confirmed in an interviewwith AutoWeek way back last year.IGN asked him how he will decide what separates content that will go into GT5 as DLC or held back for GT6.
Yamauchi replied: "I think what really will be the separating factor is; something that we can't update through a DLC is something that obviously has to be saved for GT6. Things that we can provide through DLC we will, so that's really the market difference."
And according to Yamauchi, there's plenty of DLC on the way to GT5. "It's been about a year since we've released the game and in the interim we've had about 15 updates that were performed on the game. These set up the basic platform for the system. Now that we have that out of the way, we're ready to release more expansions and content to add to the game," he said.
"I think that will include cars and trucks that we'll be releasing maybe once every two months or so from here on out. What we do from here on is also really dependent on the reaction of the users to this first DLC that we just released because this is the first one. Now we have the feedback from our customers and we'll see how that will affect what we will do from here."

More evidence has emerged that God of War 4 is in development - this time from a New Zealand shop.Mighty Ape lists God of War 4 for release on 28th September 2012.It contains a God of War 4 logo, but this has been lifted from a fan made trailer.The release date does, however, back up a report from earlier this year that claimed God of War 4 would release in September 2012.Before that a job advertisement suggested developer Sony Santa Monica might implement multiplayer into the God of War series.God of War III launched early last year as a visual showcase for the PlayStation 3.Sony Santa Monica has said it did not mark the end of the action-packed blockbuster series."This is not the end of God of War," studio boss John Hight said. "This is definitely the end of the trilogy, but we're [going to] continue to do God of War games."We're [going to] be very careful about what we do. We're the keepers of the franchise and we don't want to see it ruined or polluted."The PlayStation 3 exclusive enjoyed a 9/10 in Eurogamer's God of War III review, in which Christian Donlan wrote: "There are no branching paths, no complex decisions, and no multiplayer modes, but this particular game is all the better for it, since the results are rich and focused rather than drawn-out and a little ragged."

We get it: every October, it's all about basketball and bank robberies for us, so naturally the top-grossing games on PSN for the month revolve around similar subject matter. The PlayStation Blog reports that the two top games purchased and installed in October are NBA Jam: On Fire Edition and Payday: The Heist in first and second place, respectively.
Taking third place was the re-release of Crysis, followed by Chrono Trigger andResident Evil 4 HD. Also, we're glad to see Odin Sphere debut in the charts at number 15 -- you may recall, its release is part of the "Only on PlayStation Network" campaign where select PS2 games were given new life as PSN titles. We're all for older games (especially good ones) finding a new audience!
You can see the full list of October's top-earners through the source link below. Just try not to flip out too much when you see Real Steel rank higher than God Hand.

PlayStation 3 exclusive Uncharted: Drake's Deception shipped an impressive 3.8 million units worldwide on release day.
"Uncharted 3 is a blockbuster and these incredible sales figures reflect that. Consumers are clearly as eager to play the game as critics were to heap praise upon it," said SCEE's head of communications Nick Caplin.
"The team at Naughty Dog deserve this fantastic reception at retail. The Uncharted series, exclusive to PlayStation 3, has redefined the third-person adventure genre and is now one of the leading franchises available."
Yesterday Activision announced that Modern Warfare 3 was its biggest game launch ever, but did not release actual sales figures. Analysts Sterne Agee recently predicted 5.5 to 6 million day one sales for the title.

We first got wind of Sony's PlayStation Suite SDK back at the Tokyo Game Show in September, but the company just opened up the application process for a closed beta test, letting Windows XP and Windows 7 users in the US, UK and Japan submit their credentials for early access. Those getting the nod from Sony will be able to develops apps for use on the PS Vita, which is set to hit in February, along with thePS Suite -- that "hardware-neutral" framework that'll allow access from non-PlayStation branded products, including the Xperia Play, Tablet S and Tablet P, with the potential for third-party devices to come as well. The SDK uses the C# programming language, and doesn't require devs to have access to actual Sony hardware -- so don't expect a Vita to show up at your door anytime this year. Think you have what it takes to be a Sony dev? Hit up the source link to send 'em the word.

Call of Duty: Black Ops has sold 20 million map packs to date. Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg noted the latest figure during yesterday's conference call, where the publisher announced strong revenues for the quarter.
"For the first nine months of the year, Black Ops has remained the number one title in the U.S. and Europe, generating more revenue than any new major console release," Hirshberg stated. "The revenues generated from map packs alone would make it the third largest console title of the year."
Black Ops received four map packs after launch, which Hirshberg said, "Further demonstrates that there is continued consumer interest in the content even 11 months after the launch, making playing Call of Duty truly a year-round activity for millions of our fans."
Activision announced 18 millionBlack Ops map packs were sold back in September, before the final sales push of the Rezurrection pack completed.

 Square Enix is enticing vintage RPG fans with a PSOne Classics "Winter of RPGs" promotion. It's not alone in populating the store with new old RPGs, however. MonkeyPaw Games informed us that Vanguard Bandits will be released in North America on November 15, for $9.99. That puts it right between Chrono Cross and Final Fantasy V.
Vanguard Bandits is a strategy RPG developed by Human Entertainment, and published in North America by Working Designs. Players battle giant robots called ATACs (All Terrain Armored Combatants, of course) in grid-based environments.

Ahead of the possible release of concrete numbers later today, Activision has claimed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was the most pre-ordered game ever released.
Of course, this puts the title on track to break the sales records set by immediate predecessor Call of Duty: Black Ops. Pre-orders for MW3, in fact, beat it “by a wide margin”.
In addition, the launch of the game became Activision’s largest ever day one shipment. COO and CFO Thomas Tippl even claims that it’s the largest day one shipment ever seen in the entire industry.
He also claims that a total of 13,000 retailers across the globe opened their doors at midnight to serve a total of 1.5m consumers.
“The launch of Modern Warfare 3 was the largest in Activision Blizzard's history, and our global organization remains laser-focused on delivering the largest entertainment launch of all time for the third consecutive year and to exceed the record set by Black Ops life-to-date,” CEO Bobby Kotick added.

Japan doesn't appear to be bowled over by PlayStation Vita and Wii U.Just 10 per cent of 1083 people surveyed do want to buy either machine, according to goo Research data reported by IndustryGamers.Alarmingly, more than half the participants weren't at all interested in either PlayStation Vita or Wii U.A third don't want to buy Wii U or Vita, but at least have some interest in them.The survey was conducted in October and consisted of a roughly equal male-female split, and of participants spread relatively evenly across five age brackets: teen, twenties, thirties, forties and fifties.Just under two thirds of participants had a games console. Most owned DS (62 per cent), followed by PS2 (53 per cent), PSP (34 per cent), PS3 (28 per cent) and Wii (6 per cent).Wii U apathy could be attributed to the device carrying an 'after April 2012' release date, which probably means Christmas 2012 at best. Plus, there are still a lot of questions unanswered about the device.But the indifference to PlayStation Vita is worrying. The handheld launches in Japan on 17th December - under six weeks away. And if any region could be expected to be excited about PS Vita, it should be Japan - Sony's most lucrative PSP market.Has the lack of a true Vita Monster Hunter game, besides the adapted PSP game Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, hurt Vita's early Japanese chances?

Saints Row 4 is already in the early stages of development, despite Saints Row: The Third not even being on shelves yet, judging by comments made by THQ exec Danny Bilson.As seen in a teaser clip from an impending X-Play interview, Bilson claimed he already knows what direction Volition is planning to take with the next game in its open world crime series."I already know what Saints Row 4 is about, and it is wilder than this one. It's a good example of how you take what you have and you say, 'What can happen in the next?'"A little more context to his comments should be forthcoming tomorrow, when the full interview airs.Saints Row: The Third swaggers into stores from 18th November, for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
