Hmm...We imagine Sony would do select PSX game titles, and would reduce the resolution quality of MDECS (since the PSP has no need for 640x480 interlaced / non-interlaced modes) and perhaps sound (Kind of similar to the Dreamcast bubbas that crunch down GD-ROM games to fit on a CD). They were contributors to the Yellow Book CD-ROM / XA standard after all. The downloads will be smaller, and Sony may drop the price of their GIGAPACK PSP. This may encourage sales. The new format of course will be proprietary, and only some PSX games will be converted.
We also may see Sony take a page from Nintendo with their
IQUE service. They will introduced Memory Duo sticks with digital signature embedded. The Duo is specific to the user and a download log can detect what games have been purchased / downloaded..and as we wrote for IQUE
If a purchased game is deleted simply to make room for another game, it can be downloaded again for free the next time.
