PSP games useless with Vita

For all of you who are looking to purchase the new Playstation Vita, your old games for the PSP won't be making a debut on your new handheld.  Sony stated that a North American version of the UMD passport program won't be available for Vita users.  The Passport Program would have enabled users to register their UMD games through the Sony network and then re-purchase them for cheap as a Digital Game Downlaod.  For you who may have gone with the PSP GO, your digital downloads will still be available to you to download and play on the Vita.  This isn't the first time USA was left out, if you guys remember the launch of the PSP GO, users in other countries were able to get a pass for multiple game downloads, just by purchasing the GO itself.
