Details on the PSP Store and UMD Transfers

Sony has made it clear that their version of the iPhones "App Store"; that will facilitate mini bite sized downloads, will focus exclusively on games, not applications.

John Koller, head of marketing for Sony Computer Entertainment of America stated the following.

it's absolutely not an app store.....We're not going to have, 'Find Your Parked Car' and those kinds of things.

Koller believes this will allow their developers to provide a "constant stream of content".

Now for a touch of frustrating news, those of you who are still wondering how in the heck you're going to play all your UMDs on the PSPgo's UMD-less unit will remain in the dark, for now at least. With about 5 weeks until launch and a gaming convention set up as your podium, Sony still doesn't have an answer? Pretty strange if you ask me. Maybe they don't want to ruin the good vibes they're receiving from their PS3 announcements with some less than exciting news about the PSPgo. Here's what Koller had to say about it.

"No new update on that.....We do realize that there is a very strong legacy and we have a strong historical relationship with those who have purchased PSP but we really have nothing to announce quite yet on that."

I guess we're all expected to pre-order these and hope for the best.
