Playstation Portable owners will not be able to transfer the disc-based UMD games they own to a PSPgo when the sleek new digital-only system launches next week, Sony officials told Kotaku today.
"We were evaluating a UMD conversion program, but due to legal and technical reasons we will not be offering the program at this time," a Sony Computer Entertainment of America spokesman told Kotaku.
The $250 PSPgo has no UMD drive, instead relying fully on an Internet connection to purchase, download and install games onto the system's harddrive or removable memory.
At this year's E3 Expo in Los Angeles, Sony Computer Entertainment officials said that they hoped to have a plan in place to allow UMD games to be transferred over to the PSPgo by the launch of the system.
"We are looking into programs for owners who have previously purchased UMD titles and want to exchange them for digital versions," Sony Computer Entertainment's Brian Keltner told Kotaku at the time. "It's something we are still hammering out the details. As soon as we have solid plans in place we will make an announcement."
One of the rumored plans involved Sony installing kiosks in retail stores which would allow gamers to turn their UMD games into digital ones. Recently a Dutch and Australian retailer said they would not be carrying the PSPgo.
While the ability to transfer already owned copies of UMD games to the PSPgo could likely have a large impact on whether current Playstation Portable owners would buy the system, it's unlikely it would impact gamers new to Sony's portable offerings.
During the Tokyo Game Show Sony unveiled new peripherals for the PSPgo, dropped the price of the Playstation Portable in Japan and announced the launch of a program that would free games to people in Europe who upgrade from the PSP to the PSPgo.

Los propietarios de PSP no podrán transferir los juegos en UMD a un PSP go! cuando consigan el nuevo sistema digital ke se lanza la proxima semana, dijo oficialmente Sony a Kotaku, esta semana.
"Estuvimos evaluando un programa de conversion de UMD, pero debido a razones legales y tecnicas, no estaremos ofreciendo el programa por el momento", dijo un trabajador de SCE a Kotaku esta semana
El PSP go de 250 USD no cuenta de un lector de UMD, en lugar de eso tiene una conexion a internet para comprar, descargar e instalar juegos en su disco duro o memoria removible.
Este año en el E3 en Los Angeles, SCE oficialmente dijo ke esoeraban tener un plan para hacer ke los juegos de UMD pudieran ser transmitidos al PSP go, con la salida del sistema.
"Estamos buscando programas para los propietarios ke anteriormente compraron titulos UMD y ke los kieren cambiar por versiones digitales", dijo Brian Keltner de SCE a Kotaku esta vez
Uno de los planes rumorados incluia a Sony instalando Kioskos en las tiendas que permitiría a los propietarios convertir los juegos UMD en unos digitales. Recientemente un vendedor holandés y australiano dijeron que no venderían la PSP go
Mientras que la funcion de transferir las copias ya obtendas de juegos UMD a PSP go, podria tener un gran impacto en que los actuales propietarios de PSP compren el sistema, parece que impactaria a los Nuevos gamers nuevos a las ofertas de Sony portatiles
Durante el TGS Sony desveló los nuevos perifericos para el PSP go, dijeron el precio en Japon y anunciaron la salida de un programa que regalaria los juegos a gente en europa que cambien su PSP por el nuevo PSP go
