Sony has just released details for the next PSP firmware update, 5.00, and this one comes with a very significant and frankly well overdue addition; a PlayStation Store with the PSP.
The PSP has always been a very functional little device; access to the PlayStation Store on the PSP will finally give gamers the means to directly download official content for the machine onto their handheld, including demos, themes, and game videos.
Best of all, you will be able to buy first pary Sony titles directly from the store and download them to your SD card, which is great if you’re having trouble finding them in your local game store… or you’ll simply too lazy to go and get it.
Confirmed titles that will be available for digital dowloading include Bleach Soul Carnival, Ratchet and Clank, Patapon 2, LocoRoco 2, Remote Detective, Diamond and the Sound of a Gunshot, Sarugetchu Piposaru Senki, and Resistance Retribution. No prices have yet been revealed.
The penned released date for the Firmware Update is “soon”, so make of that what you will.
