PSP / PSVita Games
PSP & PlayStation Vita Games

PSP or Vita?
The PSP uses UMD discs — small optical discs in a plastic shell. The PS Vita uses cards, like modern handhelds. The two media are not compatible with each other.
The Vita has one further quirk: it needs a proprietary memory card for game and save storage. It does not accept common cards, which often surprises anyone buying the console second hand.
