UMD discs are gone, replaced by little memory cards. This medium can store the full software titles, and also save data as well as additional game content data. Therefore, the game title can be concluded with one card. There will also be expandable on-board storage for multimedia, accessible via memory card slot. Users can play PSP titles, minis and PS1 classics titles offered via digital download. So far, there is no option to connect the vita to an external TV display.
