OK. I have come to the realization that the psp game is basically going to be nothing more than a roster update from 2010. That being said, as an Astros fan I have created Brett Wallace and Jason Castro and will buy the psp game this year simply so these created players will be announced by name instead of #. Does anyone know if the downloaded version loads quicker than the umd? And how much memory does it take to load? I've always bought the UMD in the past but want to try the download this year if it will provide me with faster load times.

I read it's about 3x faster than UMD to load. If you don't trade in, better download it.

BTW they haven't 'show' anything at all for PSP users. As you said, it's gonna be the same game with roster update. Horrible graphic, no umpires, no online. Maybe next time for psp2.

There is no comparison - go with the download.

The UMD is going to be insanely slow for this game.

I've been playing off removable media for a few years now.

Definitely download version. Like Pared said, no comparison with load times.

Can not wait to see NGP info come this fall/winter /wink

Download it is. Thanks guys!

I'm looking forward to the psp2 as well. I have yet to buy a ps3 because I travel a lot with work and have two small children so when I am home I spend my time with them. PSP2 will hopefully provide the ps3 experience but the freedom to play on the go!

The latest Game Informer has me really excited about the PSP2...

1. Beefy analog sticks comparable to XBOX 360
2. Devs who are saying porting PS3 games to it is easy.
3. Power & design are awesome for a portable.

How much room do you have to have on a Memory Stick to download the game? I have a 4gb that is pretty much empty, aside from some music files. Would that be enough room?
