Rock Band is going country...seriouslyThe PSP has grown up quite nicely in its four years of existence, going from an all-in-one, not too good at anything experiment to a highly technical, yet extremely entertaining, handheld product. Sony has realized that their "baby is all grown up" and is looking to give the handheld system its own version of the PlayStation Store to add to the already robust feature set the system is capable of handling.
Today at GDC, Chris Eden from Sony Computer Entertainment made mention of the PLAYSTATION Store on PSP in his Game Developer's Conference session. Currently the only way PSP owners can access downloadable content for their handhelds is via the PS3's PlayStation store or the PC's Store. Eden's announcement now gives hope that PSP owners will be able to have downloadable content available at their fingertips without having to plug their PSP into anything, but rather just by logging onto the internet.
The PlayStation Store for the PSP is said to allows users to "access native PLAYSTATION Store on PSP via wireless hotspot," and "Purchase and download content direct to PSP (no USB cable)." There is no release date announced or speculated but we sure hope that Sony releases this feature sooner than later.

first, buuyakatcha
Awesome. This could also spark PSP exclusive items from the store. I was wondering when this was going to happen. Excellent.
first
sounds like fun to me!
the psp just keeps getting better, this really makes me want to buy one
lol i love when people put first even though there not first
anyways, i cant wait for this to happen although this should of happened a long time ago, its better late then never
This is great news to me. I've been waiting for a feature like this, especially since I've lost the USB cable for my PSP/PS3 controllers in the past. No more having to be at home to download content for the PSP is great! Hopefully they will allow you to sign in using an existing PSN account (i.e. the one on your PS3), and hopefully they will integrate a friends list in the future also. If not, then the successor to the PSP definitely should. Maybe I should go trade my phat PSP for a slim & lite.....
You can use your PS3 as an access point...
First!!! oh wait now I look like a tard like killabee, oh wait, no I dont.
Cant wait for this to kick up, interested to see if this can overtake live. I honestly believe Sony could kick the crap out of live pretty easy, I could see Sony charging maybe 20 dollars a year for their version of Gold.
Should have happened a long time ago, but better late than never.
this is cool and cant wait
Really nice,i've been looking forward to this,it's gonna rock!!!!!
@killabee, Your a fing idot. I really don't understand why you people think its so cool to say FIRST!. This is a forum site, not a game. So stop, cause all you are doing is making yourself look like a fool. I'm happy to hear the psp is getting its own store. I like my DS, but my slim psp pwns it in so many ways.
psn id: gingo.... this was always going to come after they srated the psp store on PC glad they have finally announced it though
I need a better wifi connection
