Thatgamecompany's flOw is finally floating from the PS3 over to the Playstation Portable, CVG reports. The PSN title (which started out as a graduate thesis) will soon be available for purchase and download from the PC-based Playstation Store, where it can be beamed to the PSP for on-the-go underwater trippy creature-eating... stuff.
According to CVG, the PSP version will likely remain largely unchanged from the PS3 original. Though no release date was given, CVG speculates that flOw may appear alongside today's scheduled PSN update. We can't confirm, but that would be neat.

Our PSPs are calling for it, besides, the only other game like this is beats, which is in fact a bargain ^^

@maverick_saturn_626: I would recommend Kula World as well - you may know it as Roll Away.
I loved that back on the PSone, and jumped on it when it landed on PSN.

Sony, I am begging you, please stop developing new stuff for the PSP.
I already bought the PS3, and I have been diligently sinking money into games and BD movies.
But enough already, I don't want to purchase another device!
Please do my wallet a favor and stop adding to the value of that little beauty!

More Flow is great (big fan of the game, since before it came out on PS3), but COME ON - I've already bought the game and the expansion... Do I have to buy it again? This is rediculous.

I agree completely. I think its really crummy (as a consumer) that even though I already bought the game they probably won't allow you to play it on both systems. At most they may patch the PS3 version to allow remote play (while nice is a very limited feature by comparison). It would be much better if games like these instead were more like the PSX titles. Where you get to play them on both platforms. We're going to have this same issue when echochrome comes out. Why bother putting it out on both systems? Just make one version that you can play on both instead. I wish Everyday Shooter (which plays on PS3 with the d-pad and face buttons and would work fine on PSP) also was transferrable.
They can do what they want (it's their product), but I certainly can't justify purchasing any of it again even though I'd love to play them on my PSP.

Obiligatory vote for Mac support.
I don't own a PS3 and Sony not supporting Mac users is not selling me on a PS3 very well.
..and these companies wonder why folks go to torrents....

PSN Downloader is not compatible with Mac OS.
I am not buying MS OS for this app. MS was lucky to get my $$ with the 360.
When you download the file from the PS Store you cannot unzip it using a Mac OS and your only option if you REALLY want the file is to:
A. Find a PC to use or
B. torrent...
.. and considering I have Comcast the torrent is more painful than tracking down a PC, which is also a PITA.

With the 3.90 update yesterday adding MORE support for PSN titles, I wouldn't be surprised if this is will be free for those of us that already bought it.
And for the record, PixelJunk Monsters for the PSP next please, remote play is cool, but finding WiFi is not always an option.
