PSP To Connect To PlaystationStore Directly

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan (SCEJ) announced today that it would launch a new network service this fall that will allow PSP users to connect directly to PlayStationStore, and to download entertainment content without transferring them through PLAYSTATION3 (PS3) or PC. At the launch of this network service, SCEJ will be releasing game content for the PSP system such as Mainichi Issyo Portable, developed for PSP from the original PS3 title of Mainichi Issyo.

Additionally, another free online service will be launched this fall which enables users to play PSP software titles featuring ad-hoc mode over the internet through PS3 with other online players. PSP software titles such as MONSTER HUNTER PORTABLE 2nd G from CAPCOM will be compatible with this new online service.
