PSP Go upgrade incentive rewards 3 free games to UMD owners

Sony has finally figured out how to incentivize the UMD-less PSP Go for those who possess a towering library of tangible titles for the original models of the device. The company recently announced the "PSP Go Rewards" program for European territories, which offers three free games to anyone who registers the flip-screened handheld before March 31, 2010. To access these titles, users must first connect their older PSP models (which must have a UMD in the drive) to the PlayStation Network, and activate the promotion.

The full list of 17 titles, which users can choose their three free games from, is posted after the jump. No, Pocket Pool isn't on there. We know! It's like, what's the point, right? We've contacted Sony to see if the same promotion is coming to North America, and whether this unforgivable oversight will be fixed on its way over.

"What you'll be able to do is download 3 games from a selection of 17; these can either be games from your current UMD collection or 3 new titles," Sony explains. The selections are:

• Killzone Liberation

• Medievil

• Wipeout Pure

• Buzz Brain Bender

• Buzz Master Quiz

• SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs: Fireteam Bravo

• Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters

• Everybody's Golf

• Resistance: Retribution

• Syphon Filter Dark Mirror

• Lemmings

• LocoRoco

• Patapon

• Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow

• Echochrome

• Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice

• Daxter
