...if you have a PSP, which I don’t (I only have a PS3). I thought this was going to make a difference to PS3 owners, but apparently, all the PS3 content has to be downloaded through a PS3. Meh.
Why in the hell would you want to download things to your computer and then have the trouble of transferring it to your PS3? How would PC downloaded content do anything to enhance your PS3?
I'm a PSP owner, but I don't think I'll use this. I've already got homebrew on my PSP with my old SNES games loaded into it.
NVC and iTunes have defined the industry, this looks like shit, has 2 titles @ "Launch" and is needlessly complicated.
Steps to fix:
1.) Free / Cheap ($2.99-6.99) titles that are not just PSOne rehashes
2.) Make it work directly on the PSP or have a iTunes like software product for Mac/PC*
3.) Design it better, it looks like GameTrailers.com :P
4.) Where's the user-level Devkit sony? huh? Again, your SDK and dev system is like $4700 and thats before any third party tools
5.) Instore download centers, a la Nintendo
6.) Ditch UMD entirely and bury it along side MiniDisc, SuperCD and 2.5" Floppies (yeah they existed)
7.) Buy Vicious Engine from D3 / Vicious Cycle (makers of the Awesomely awesome Dead Head Fred) and add that to the SDK you ship out instead of your crap tools.
* [b] NOTE: SONY SHOULD NEVER, EVER, EVER MAKE PC/MAC SOFTWARE. IT IS ALWAYS HORRENDOUS SHIT. HIRE SOMEONE ELSE TO DO IT, IT AIN'T HARD.
