* Sony trying to appeal to this 'trend'...
* More aggressively pursuing download-only content.
* 20MB games, less than a minute to download....
* Courting iPhone developers and others...

"Their creations will then be sold via a specially-branded, separate area of the PlayStation Store open to the PSP and its upcoming successor the PSPgo."

Analysts and armchair CEOs alike widely believe this specially-branded section of the store is to be branded Krapware. ]]>Jul 16th 2009 6:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/

Oh i know pass the buck to us consumers so that well be paying the "PREMIUM" prices usually reserved for really large or high profile games on the XBOX360/Iphone being the normal price of games on the PSP.

Question, if SONY is chrging for its SDK does that mean that they're not gonna be taking any of the profits from the sales of these these games or is SONY gonna do just like it did with the PS3 and Bite at both ends You know, charge ridiculously high prices and not subsidize anything because its sheer profit margin that their concerned with. It absolutely must be a western mentality thing going on at SONY, because Microsoft and Apple two of the largest American based companies are proving that taking the consumer into account and listening to what people want actually makes a difference in the long run. When Apple or MSFT screws up they try to fix it alng with their image so as to keep those $$$ rolling in. Happy consumers equal loyal consumers. But Sony who sell competeing products in both AREAs that MSFT and Apple occupy hasnt being doin nearly as well as either company and has this "well theres more where they came from " approach to everything. I know the wholel Japanese business model is like "failure is not an option" but seriously take a hint when something just isnt working. People arent buying your products so you dont go and charge more for everything else to make up for what your losing.]]>Jul 16th 2009 8:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/Jul 16th 2009 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/Jul 16th 2009 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/
I also reckon that the PSP's SDK has a lot more game libraries than Apple's GameKit (which is only an API for peer to peer networking).]]>Jul 16th 2009 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/Jul 16th 2009 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/Jul 16th 2009 8:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/Jul 16th 2009 8:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/Jul 16th 2009 9:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/Jul 16th 2009 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/Jul 16th 2009 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/Jul 16th 2009 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/Jul 16th 2009 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/Jul 16th 2009 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/Thats like the two best things to do put into one!]]>Jul 16th 2009 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/Jul 16th 2009 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/Jul 16th 2009 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/Jul 16th 2009 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/Jul 16th 2009 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/sonys-plan-for-snackable-psp-game-and-application-downloads-r/Jul 17th 2009 11:11AM
