Although Sony states that the new, UMD-free, PSP Go (the N-1000, tech fans) won't replace the PSP 3000 or any other PSP, it's obvious that some gamers will move from the older units. In fact, it's obvious that sooner or later the Go will indeed replace those units.

So, what happens if you've got a huge library of UMD games that are now unplayable - and you don't want to tote two PSPs around with you?

According to SCEA's Director of Hardware Marketing for Sony, John Koller speaking to Gizmodo's Mark Wilson:

"We're in the midst of putting together a good will program. We'll be unveiling that soon [because] we actually think there's a significant group that will be upgrading from the 1000...In the past, we've seen a 20-25% trade-up factor, and I assume that's going to be the case here. We've modelled that. So we're looking at a good-will program—a short term good-will program that would continue for years afterwards."

Yes, we're confused by "a short term good-will program that would continue for years afterwards" too.
