It's time to kick this machine up a notch - Image 1While Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) exec Jack Tretton talked about PSP Store (or whatever they will call the service) during Gamers Day, another SCEA exec, this time Marketing VP Peter Dille, talks about the same service. In the movies, TV, and music content department, the PSP has a lot more room to grow, and Dille admits it's high time that it did grow:

The missing ingredient for us has been making it easier for consumers to get video content or music content to the PSP, because the device has this awesome technical playback capability, awesome screen built for video and yet we donÂ’t make it terribly easy for people to access any content. So weÂ’re looking to fix that.


So what are the plans for the PSP Store (tentative name we're assigning)? GameInformer asked him during Gamers Day if it will involve the PSP's Wi-Fi capabilities or require the PS3 for cross-downloading?
Peter can announce no details, but he says "I think both paths are open to us." Dille also foresees this rolling out later this year.

When questioned about that new PSP model, Dille held up his hands. "
SonyÂ’s a technology company so there are lots of people out there wondering what weÂ’ll do next. But as a rule, we donÂ’t comment on rumors or speculation." What he could say, though, is Sony's confidence in the PSP - as a format, and not just as the SKU. As well as the many games coming for the machine in the foreseeable future, Dille believes that the downloadable entertainment media service is what will "energize the market."

Yo Watch as the room rocks Mentally moon walk Mixed media slang Banging in your boom box Verbal violence Lyrical stylist In a time when rock hip hop rhymes are childish You can't tempt me with rhymes that are empty Rapping to a beat doesn't make you an emcee With your lack of skill and facility You're killing me And a DJ in the group just for credibility I heard that some of you are getting help with your rhymes You're not an emcee if someone else writes your lines Rapping over rock doesn't make you a pioneer Cause rock and hip hop have collaborated for years But now they're getting randomly mixed and matched up All after a fast buck and all the tracks suck So how does it stack up None of it's real You want to be an emcee you've got to study the skill Who can rock a rhyme like this Bring it to you every time like this Who can rock a rhyme like this Step, step up, step, step up So you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity But mentally you don't have the hip hop energy With a tendency to make up stories Sounding like the only hip hop you've heard is top 40 (top 40) And your record company is completely missing it All the kids are dissing it for not being legitimate So in a battle you can't hack it React with whack ***** And get smacked with verbal back flips Get your ass kicked by fabulous battle catalysts It's taken decades for emcees to establish this You're new to hip hop and welcome if your serious But not on the mic Leave that to the experienced Using the waves of sound the true master Paralyzes his opponents, leaving him vulnerable to attack Who can rock a rhyme like this Bring it to you every time like this Who can rock a rhyme like this Step, step up, step, step up Who can rock a rhyme like this Bring it to you every time like this Who can rock a rhyme like this Step, step up, step, step up, step up After years of pain staking research by the world's Leading sound scientists, we here at the sound Institute have invented a reliable audio weapons system. Actual movement of musical sound in space used to Carefully attack and neutralize the cellular structure of The human body, so the question must be asked. Who can rock a rhyme like this Bring it to you every time like this Who can rock a rhyme like this Step, step up ,step, step up Who can rock a rhyme like this Bring it to you every time like this Who can rock a rhyme like this Step, step up, step, step up, Step up! Mixed media Mixed media Mixed media Step up to the microphone And you do it like this And you do it like this Step up to the mircophone Mixed media And you do it like this Mixed media Step up to the mircophone And you do it like this Mixed media Step up to the mircophone And you do it like this...

WRONG

Someone who wants to pirate games will find a way to do so regardless of how much Sony locks the psp.Only one Sony is cutting off here is the average homebrew user.

noooo....

I think he is saying that the psp needs to be more media friendly than it is now. As in easier to add content for the incompetent idiots out there who dont even read the short manual (there is a Quick manual and a full manual which includes 2 languages making it look HUGE) therefore, asking people online on how to make their MP3s work.

Wrong in two ways

People aren't shying away from the PSP because it's lacking in the media department. People are shying away from the PSP because it's lacking in the GAME department. That's why people use homebrews. Also, think about this: there are many more PSPs in people's homes right now than PS3s. That means that downloadable content through the PS3 would be leaving out a significant number of PSP owners.
