In Japan, PlayStation Vita owners have a UMD Passport program, allowing them to repurchase a list of select PSP titles at a discount price on the PlayStation Store to download on the new handheld (considering it lacks a UMD drive). In North America, PlayStation Vita owners have… well, nothing.
Sony Computer Entertainment America has told Kotaku there will not be a North American version of the UMD Passport pogram.
PlayStation Vita launches in the U.S. on February 22.
