Phil Harrison - Image 1Atari's Phil Harrison is sure taking the game to a different playing arena: in their recent Atari Live event in London, he revealed that they may soon be going digital download for the PSP.

Though Atari didn't announce any upcoming PSP games during the event, Harrison reaffirmed his belief that physical media may soon be obsolete... which is why they may be going digital instead.

He's got some high praises for Sony's move to make the PlayStation Store on the PSP, and Atari just might squeeze everything they can from the service:

There is no doubt that PSP is a very vibrant platform from a hardware perspective and I think Sony has recently made some good moves into opening up online distribution for software on PSP, so I'm looking to explore that.


This follows their plans of making 90% of their products available online. While he's got high hopes for these plans, that doesn't mean he's completely closed off to other avenues as well. Take for example the iPhone, which he says is a game changer."

[The AppStore is] a phenomenon that I think is going to change the way that certain kinds of devices consume content forever.
