New PSP Minis Service

[Cablephish]

The PlayStation 3 isn't the only thing getting smaller. At its GamesCom 2009 press conference today, Sony announced a new line of downloadable PSP games called PSP Minis. Capped with a 100MB size limit, Minis are intended to offer players a "snackable" gaming experience. Set to go live October 1 alongside the official launch of the UMD-less PSP Go, the PSP Mini service will initially boast a selection of 15 titles, including Tetris and Sudoku. During its GamesCom presentation, Sony also showed a mock-up for a game called Aqua Panic Oasis. By the end of 2009, Sony expects to have a selection of 50 PSP Minis available on the PlayStation Network.

Not interested in this either can't Sony think of their own ideas.

Perhaps PSP Mini Service made for security purposes? Of course, Sony always think their product's safety first before everything else..

PSP Mini is a lame name, considering the service will be providing full-sized games and bitesized software now.

Fixed that for you.

Also, am I the only one who absolutely loathes the term "snackable"?

Think of these games as fun-sized Hallowe'en treats. There's nothing fun about having a tiny piece of candy, why not make it more fun and make it bigger?

By the way, the service was, like DSiware, meant to target casual gamers.

i think so that they want to introduce a shovelware kinda category or something like the kids game for the psp to match the ds or something... ds is selling well for its random their games

They should release their own brand of Ponyz game. That will make them profit and help the PSP from becoming dead.

I still dont like the idea of a UMD-less psp.

That might actually work
