It’s nearly time to bid farewell to Sony’s PlayStation Portable, the little handheld that couldn’t-quite in terms of outpacing Nintendo’s DS, a portable that outpaced every other  as well as nearly every games console (it’s currently just a few million shy of overtaking Sony’s PlayStation 2 with over 150 million units sold worldwide). The PS Vita supports PSP games by way of software emulation, but since the Vita lacks a UMD disc-drive, the only way to get PSP games onto the system is by repurchasing them from Sony’s PlayStation Store and downloading them to a Vita memory card. The upside is, PSP games tend to look better  on the Vita than they did running at native resolution on the PSP’s 3. Every LCD-based screen has a native resolution â” output something at a resolution lower than the LCD’s native resolution, and the image has to be upscaled, stretching or “interpolating” the pixels. PSP games run at 480 x 272 pixel resolution, but have to be upscaled to the Vita’s 960 x 544 pixels. They’ve just put up the launch list on the PlayStation blog , and while they’re only offering 275 PSP games at launch, they promise “more PSP titles will be made available for PS Vita play in the coming weeks. read more
