PSP & PlayStation Vita Games
Sony handheld consoles, with libraries holding several titles that never appeared on another platform. Two different media: UMD for the PSP, cards for the Vita.
- Two different media: the PSP uses UMD discs, the Vita uses cards — they do not interchange.
- Exclusive titles: many games stayed on these consoles alone.
- The Vita needs a memory card: a proprietary type, essential for storage.
- Low prices: among the cheapest areas of collectible gaming.
What are you after?
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.
