The homebrew scene is why I still have no idea if the UMD drive in the PSP that I bought new a million years ago has ever worked.

Because while I definitely bought a PSP, I definitely have never bought a UMD-based game to play on it.

It was quite amazing at the time, and (IMHO) it remains a spectacularly-good handheld for playing whatever games with an emulator or whatever.

(Am I the reason why we can't have nice things? Yes, perhaps. Perhaps I am.)




To be fair, Sony released an UMD-less model themselves! Many titles, especially later in the system's life, got a digital/PSN release in addition to the UMD one, and some were even digital exclusive.
