According to Hirai, you will be able to purchase and download PSP content without using the PS3 as a middle-man. The service is reportedly available now in Japan; no word on when it will be coming elsewhere.

I hope they let you download PS3 content via the PC, my wifi connection is so slow.

Im curious where the PSone games are that we are supposed to be able to download. I remember they were saying FFVII and FFVIII were going to come out when it first started. Im still waiting for those games....

Using the PSP as a controller? That's one expensive controller!

One word: FINALLY

About friggin' time....they should have had this up running before the PS3 even came out.
ben murray @ Sep 20th 2007 5:40AM
and the chances of this being mac/os x compatible are....?

Given Sony's track record with things like online music downloads, I'd have to guess that those of us using OS X will have to run either Boot Camp or VirtualPC to use this service, and who knows if it will work then in VPC's case. Oh well, I haven't needed it as of yet ;)

Get the 60GB EE PS3 while you still can man. Screw the upcoming 40GB and current 80GB, I want my EE damnit!!!
blooh (CDF - Ass Ring) @ Sep 20th 2007 10:59AM
...or just keep a ps2 and not buy a ps3
dsub @ Sep 21st 2007 2:53AM
I'm with blooh. But if you want em' you better get em now. We've only got 2 left at the store I work at.

There was a time I would have bought downloadable psx games for my psp. But I don't own a ps3, the selection of games is week and I the service still not available.
In the meantime, I have converted those psx games I have wanted to play, thus draining whatever remaining interest I had in this eventual announcement.

Ah, the irony of using a MS operating system to access the Sony store. This is why MS will never die.
