App Store coming to PSP
Sony to adopt iPhone model
As previously rumoured, Sony have finally confirmed at today's Develop Conference that an App Store will indeed be coming to PSP and PSP Go.
50 studios have been busy working on games and applications for the service, which includes Subatomic Studios' PSP adaptation of popular iPhone tower defence game Fieldrunners.
"You don't see this happening at Microsoft and you even don't see it happening at Nintendo yet," Subatomic's Ash Monif observed.
"Part of that 'snackability' of the content is because you can deliver the content over Wi-Fi super-fast. We're making games that are just 20MB each, that's less than a minute to download - instant gratification, snackable content."
Sounds delicious.
The App Store will have its own "specially branded" area on the PlayStation Store when it launches.
Specific dates are still to be confirmed.
