The only way I can imagine that would work, is *somehow* syncing a PSP to a PS3, and then having PSN running a complete check of the UMD disc in the drive.
The problem with that is this, the NoUMD mode on M33, CFW, does that not 'emulate' a UMD drive inorder to run CSO/ISO games? In conjunction with the new Hider for games that check for that sort of thing, would make PSP1 piracy to PSP2 basically rampant as hell.
~Granted~ my understanding of how a PSP executes its CSO/ISO format is really low, and I'm more then likely wrong.
My best guess would be Sony porting the entire PSP collection, into a CSO/ISO like format, and selling them at the standard/reduced price over the PSN, with some sort of reduced price for those who can *prove* (more then likely by my magic 'scanning' method I referenced above) they actually own the UMD copy. (Problem with that also, and I'm not sure if this is a wide spread thing, is you can now rent UMD games at Family Video/Blockbuster.)

moving 2 dowloaded content from umd may not be the brightest idea cause the small portion of casual gamers (including me) dont have internet capabilities when theres other priorities that r important in life. need bc for it 2 work right IMO.

Hows the bit rate on blu tooth or wifi could you play a UDM off a wireless device?
If not why not a DRM'd secure UDM image? that would work for UDM movies as well?

It is a geek dream to be able to download everything, but the reality is that geeks are a very small percentage of the real population.
May people like me don't like to wait to download a game or movie, it is better to pop a disk.

Actually, I hope for the best of both worlds here. I hope they find a secure way to put the media on a memory card form. My UMD drive died. as in not working at all. Meaning that I can't play Lumines without resorting to hacking my PSP.( Lumines is the reason I bought a PSP.) H(eck).. I even purchased Lumines Supernova of of PSN for PS3 because I like to support the games that I really enjoy. I still haven't hacked my 360. I know HOW to.. I just haven't because I actually enjoy paying for quality games.
Back to the PSP.. the games actually do play better foom the memory card. Shorter load times, No wear on a disc drive... all itwould take is finding a way to keep the card from gettin hacked. But this is Sony... PS3 hasn't been fully hacked yet.( at least as of this writing)
