Why do PSP downloadable games cost more than the physical copies??

I certainly agree with your findings. AND games often are released FIRST on UMD leaving Go owners waiting. That's fully wrong if you ask me. The games should hit the PSN first or at the same time. There are games I want that I just can't have because they only exist on UMD. I have demos of stuff that I like and I couldn't buy it for my PSP if I wanted too.

Also,... I can't really put games on any wish list I have online because I don't want to explain to people the details of not buying me the physical version of them but rather they have to buy me gift cards for PSN... that's pretty messed up.

(You can get 10% off PSN cards at Bj's...just sayin.)



These things are a bit of a drag. But the UMD format always looked clunky to me so in a way I am still happier with the Go.

I agree that I would hate having to carry around a bunch of UMDs. The Go would be perfect if the games were like half the price they are now. I love the idea behind it....but the prices for these games a re a complete turn off and has lead me to get rid of it. I'm a Sony fan but I just can't back them up with this!
