Playstation Store now on PSP

With latest PSP firmware update ver 5.01, we can now signup and access Playstation Store on our o'PSP :) hurray, right? Well, not exactly...after signing up a new user using Malaysian contact info and address, we were greeted by a simple message from Sony that Playstation Store is not available in our region yet. Duh! why let us sign up then when we can't access the store?

Then, I remembered that I had previously created a Playstation Store account in Hong Kong when I got myself a PS3...so I key in the username and password and viola.. I am now able to access Playstation Store! Why Malaysia always lack behind on stuff like this!?



Like PS3, Playstation Store allows you to purchase a game online (according to region, of course!) though your WiFi connection. You can browse the games available using the simple user interface and download different contents for your PSP. The best thing is, there are some Trial version of PSP games available for download, how cool.



You can also download Themes to change the look of your background and XMB for free..



Though the concept is great, the interface and implementation still not as good as the iTunes store. This will probably change with future firmware upgrades but lack of convenient user input method for PSP may mar the user experience with the Playstation Store. :P
