Sony working on a PSP app store?

June 15th, 2009 | Category: Gadget Reviews

Now that Sony’s committed itself to downloadable games with the PSP Go, it’s only natural to wonder where that strategy might lead — and the hot buzz says there’s an “app store” of sorts due in August at Gamescom. The new section of the Playstation Store will supposedly impose a 100MB limit on substance and set prices in the $2 - $6 range, but otherwise have no restrictions, meaning devs will be free — and even encouraged — to cipher up non-game apps as well. Of course, you’ll still be able to snag full PSP titles from the other parts of the store, but whether that actually happens it’ll be interesting to see whether Sony can channel some of the energy from the vibrant PSP homebrew scene into a more legit distribution channel. We’ll keep an eye out.
