Sony's slew of Thanksgiving announcements
(old news - 01:59PM Thursday Nov 22 2007)
tags: fun · business · gaming · rumor
Some people bought the PSP because they really wanted a portable gaming device. Others bought it because they couldn’t afford the PS3. Those who got only the PSP have been unable to download new games to their PSP but Sony has announced that they’ve changed all that. You can now go to the PlayStation online store and download games directly from your PC to your PSP.

Sony also had a few other announcements for its gaming customers. One of those was a firmware upgrade for the PS3 that increases stability during game play and web surfing. They also released several new games and announced discounted prices for the Thanksgiving holiday. Rumors about a PSP phone are also circulating again.

Sheesh... a bit late to the party

You can ALREADY download games for your PSP. And all it takes is a copy of Lumines, a memory stick, and an internet connection. What exactly are they proposing to do, charge money for something that everyone with half a brain knows you can do for free?

Wake up sony. You've missed the boat.. umm, by a couple of years now.

That's call THEFT. Anyone with a half a brain could steal something from wal-mart. Do you? Anyone with a minimum wage job can earn enough to buy one of those PS1 games in an hour. So no reason to steal.

Yeah.. and rootkit by Sony was OK? Maybe these downloaders are giving them some payback? I don't have a PSP but if I did, I darn would download a game to try it out before buying it. Now.. if sony would offer a trail of it's games, say 1st level only, they might be on to something.. Just a thought.

Re: Sheesh... a bit late to the party

Thats the point. Not too many people are willing to download a demo and all it's payload (advertisements) that sometimes comes with it. I use trials all the time but am very careful who and where I get them from. It appears some just want to pass go and get the real thing. But, with sony's "root kit" rep (my point), some consider "sticking it to the man" by getting the FULL version and moving on.

Yeah ok...These people will use anything for an excuse to take what is not theirs. Whether it is stealing to put food on the table for your family or it is stealing cuz you want it and don't want to have to pay for it...It is still stealing no matter how you want to rationalize it. In the end you become that which you detest.

@conwaycorp.net

The asshole idiots who have been calling the homebrew community one of "piracy" and "theft" are ignorant morons. Almost all of the games available through PSP homebrew are HOME MADE by amateur programmers, that is, none of them are normal PSP titles and most of them are original games in general (although some of them loose rip-offs of nintendo games and others, but who are you kidding if you think that the regular pay-for game companies don't do the same thing). Homebrew offers a venue for up-and-coming game programmers to fool around and let people use their work for free, it is NOT piracy, it is NOT theft.

bahhh !!!

I read it fast and thought they were dropping the ps3 price again. I want one but I am not blowing $400 on it with no good games.

Sony Give me an 80 gig unit without the hard drive for $300 and were talking.

Also they are finally realizing the pirate community had been doing it for a long time and it was easier for them ? So they took the idea and ran with it. nice job Sony , couldn't have done that ohhh I dunno 3 years ago ?

Re: bahhh !!!

Better late than never. Plus piracy is piracy, and they offer something you can get it legally at last. Though no doubt they're late to the game.

80 gig unit without hard drive? Then what's 80 gig stand for? Am I hearing something wrong?

80 GB is can play PS2 games, 40 GB can't. With a PS3 you can put in any size SATA notebook harddrive you want. Or actually uu can also use an external one too. And face it for $100 you can get a harddrive much bigger than 80 GB.

Re: bahhh !!!

BF is correct. The 80GB model does play PS2 game but does it through software emulation rather than HW based emulation like the 60GB model did.

40GB has neither but does have PSOne emulation.

Re: bahhh !!!

The 60gb is a ps2/ps3
The 80gb is more like xbox360 with less than stellar play list of prior games. If you want a PS3 get a 60gb before they are gone and just upgrade the hard drive if it's too small.

You want the 80 gig unit without the hard drive? That makes no sense. It wouldn't be gig anything with no hard drive

Re: bahhh !!!

He already explained that. The 60 and 80GB models include PS2 emulation whereas the 40GB does not. The 40GB can NOT play PS2 titles.

Re: Good news...

From the sound of this post, I think you have your facts backwards.

Really, though, imagine if everyone was as intelligent as you. There would be no Sony so steal games from, what would you do then with all your intelligence?

Funny but that is what I would call you. Ignorant. You want something and not have to pay for it with no concern for the people who's livelihood you are hurting. I doubt you would like it if someone was taking money out of your paycheck or took something of yours without your permission or even paying you for it. It is amazing to me the difference when the shoe is on the other foot.

Ok if you want to pretend you are "getting back" at the big bad evil company that did what to you? You know I would go with that if you only stole first party games but we all know that isn't the case. You take each and every game no matter who made it.

Now as far as those who are intelligent go...I applaud them for their skills in finding the exploit and putting it to use. You sir are not one of them. Any idiot can download and apply the exploit. You are like the person who comes into the vault after the bank robbers have left and you pick up their leftovers. You are just benefiting from what they did. Intelligent would be the last group I would put you in.

You display your ignorance again, Anna. There is a way to pull yourself out of the pit of ignorance, however. You can try researching how one puts PS1 games on their PSP.

Here's a hint: One of the most common ways involves actual purchased PS1 games...
