According to Kotaku.com, there will be no US UMD Passport program. The program which was announced and launched aside the Vita in Japan allowed users to pay a nominal fee to download digital versions of games that they already purchased for the PSP. This would allow users to play there PSP games on the Vita, despite the Vita not having a UMD drive.
Sony never confirmed that this program would be launched in the US, but I can't help but feel that this will alienate some longtime Sony customers. Having owned a PSP from launch, there are certainly some games that I would have considered repurchasing for my Vita. But not having the option just confirms that the PSP is being abandoned by Sony. Hopefully by stopping the PSP in its tracks, Sony will really start to put some money behind the Vita.
