So now that the PSP Go is coming

Does that mean that the old psp will die?
Does this mean UMDs will be no more?
I hope not cause it hasn't even been a year since I bought my PSP

No, I think that UMD support will definitely continue for another 3-4 years. Look at how well the PS2 is running even now.

re: So now that the PSP Go is coming

Sony said that it will continue the PSP 3000 with the PSP N1000 (PSP go) in case if you haven't noticed. As the PSP 3000 uses UMDs, Sony will definitely continue UMDs.

UMD will continue. Sony said it themselves.

re: So now that the PSP Go is coming

Though, I believe Sony will try to gradually shift from UMDs to total DL content. UMDs will last for a couple more years, but the PSP Go! shows that Sony is ready to take the next step. I bet all future PSPs will be DL only like the Go! is.

re: So now that the PSP Go is coming

It depends how well it works. If the DL crashes, the next PSP will probably be UMD only. Though I think they're doing it as a sort of tester, which explains why they're still selling the 3000 side by side.
Also, a lot of people probably aren't ready to stop buying games from shelves, or don't have very big memory sticks, so I think there'd be uproar if they did cancel UMD. You're right though, it could happen in a few years if DL really does take off.

Judging by the reactions I've been witnessing from this model's design, you can be certain that the original PSP will still last among Sony's fans, and the UMDs aren't going to be replaced.

Too many problems with having games as DL only. Imagine how pissed the people with tiny bandwidth or slow internet would feel?

This I doubt. Particularly cause Sony said they want a balance of UMD and Digital Download in the future and right now. They're not going to shift away entirely to Download cause they know retail games are extremely important to the future of the console and even PS3.
