PSP Function Additions In the Works

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday August 23, 2005 @06:40PM from the new-stuff-for-the-shiny-box dept.

Gamasutra.com is reporting that Sony is mulling functionality upgrades to the PSP. New options could include USB peripherals or downloadable game titles. From the article: "However, in discussing the idea of downloadable PSP games, Kawanishi commented that the idea is under consideration, and suggested equivocally that it would be interesting if users could develop their own simple games and distribute them online. So far, although many unofficial 'homebrew' PSP games and emulators have been created, the only Sony-sanctioned support for this concept is via From Software's Adventure Player PSP game, which allows construction of RPG games using PC software which can then be replayed on the PSP."

downloadable PSP games? by Fooker · 2005-08-23 18:53 · Score: 2, Insightful

Well i'm not sure about everyone, but the first thing i think about is that this is somewhat of a good and bad idea. Good idea in the place that being able to download more games is good, but bad in the sense that if you have to purchase them people will turn to pirating them as it would be easier to put on the psp and cheaper (in the pirate sence).
