PSP Download System to Launch With PS3
E3-announced service to begin beside PNP
Everyone remembers Kaz Hirai's presentation at E3, where the proud papa presented a Ridge Racer PSP port like the second coming, Games Industry reports that the PSP download system will launch beside Sony's PlayStation Network Platform (PNP) this fall.
Sony's head of platform development in Japan Izumi Kawanishi indicated that in addition to working with the PS3 and PSP, Sony's download service would also work with Wi-Fi PCs. Considering how Sony's PSP is a convergence device, and Sony has positioned the PS3 as more than just a game console, it remains to be seen how their online platform will operate. Will it see an ideological similarity of being a convergence-type device? If the download system will be working beside Wi-Fi PCs, is it possible that other elements from routine PC use (web-browsing, for instance) will occur on Sony's PNP? Do gamers have an interest in browsing the Internet on a game console? How is that DS Opera browser working out for you, Nintendo?
