PSP downloads are going to be charged for? What the hell!

SCEE's Phil Harrison says the portable will see "premium content next year."
Yesterday at the Game Developers Conference Europe, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe vice president Phil Harrison largely dispelled fears that the PlayStation 3 would come in multiple SKU models. Though he didn't entirely rule out the possibility, he said it would be "confusing" for the consumer and pooh-poohed the Xbox 360 two-tiered sales strategy.
But not all of Harrison's words were as comforting. In fact, many gamers were made downright nervous by the executive's comments on his company's portable, the PSP. He revealed that, having used the free downloads of Wipeout Pure as a test case, Sony would be moving to a pay-per-download model for extra content next year. "It's an experiment which has turned out to be a good experiment," he told UK-based Edge magazine.
Edge also quotes Harrison as saying that Sony is in the process of setting up a digital rights management system for PSP content. Like iTunes, this system will allow gamers to pay for content once and download it multiple times. While Harrison didn't identify what kind of content would be available for download, it would presumably be similar to the Wipeout Pure content, which included new vehicles, levels, and menu skins.

Not sure yet.
What I wouldn't mind is if PSP downloads came with PSN membership when the ps3 came out. That wouldn't be too bad. |

Oh, guess what else? Apparently before firmware 1.5, you could run simple homebrew apps on your psp. Like emulators. I'm seriously pissed off that I found this out AFTER updating! I'd much rather play Seiken Densetsu 3 that have the ability to make my own walls.

I use the 1.5 firmware for my emulation and other needs, and they even have standalone browsers and such for it as well.
I don't plan to upgrade to 2.0 until its cracked for home brew. |
