Awesome news.

Oh god, you just KNOW the sony defense force is gonna beat this one to death...Goddamnit internets, why do you forsake me with the stupidity of people? Is Dtoid my only refuge?

Also, part of it may b that i'm bitter as i do not have xtra $$$ to buy meself a PSP

@vexed alex: Well, I have a thumbdrive, so the transfer isn’t too much of an issue. I didn’t necessarily want to do what you mentioned; I just didn’t realize this was only going to be significant for PSP owners. Still, in case I was away from my PS3 (like I will be for this four-day weekend — I’m going home for Thanksgiving, and it’s staying at college), I’d be able to download some stuff to my comp and then just immediately put it on the PS3, instead of getting back to school and then downloading. I dunno...I guess you’re right; I probably wouldn’t use it even if it was an option.

This is cool but I kinda doubt I would use it.

Nevermind, I just realised that all of those games suck.

I've been wanting my overlords @ Sony to do this for some time, but man, this sucks...

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.
