PS3 - Playstation Network and Playstation Store

[marwan]

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan, in a recent interview with IGN, revealed its list of downloadable game content along with the launch of the PS3.

For Sony's Xbox Live Arcade-like service, flOw, Lemmings, Blast Factor, and a puzzle game called Kazuo will be among the first available.

As far as Playstation (the original) games are concerned, Sony will release approximately 10 new titles a month for download, with Arc the Lad, Hot Shots Golf 2, Resident Evil Director's Cut, Silent Bomber, Mr. Driller, and Tekken 2 available by the end of November. These games will be playable on the PSP, after being transferred from the PS3. They won't be playable on the PS3 right out of the gate, though; that functionality will come sometime down the road.

Update #1 - Jumping Flash will also be available, as well as Konami Antics MSX Collection Vol. 1, Konami Antics MSX Collection Vol. 2, and Bishi Bashi Special. Remember that these are all for Japan; the list of US downloads has not yet been announced.

Update #2 - Some pictures of the interface:

I wonder how many of those PS1 games will actually make it to the US and when.

[marwan]

i think they'll be added on monthly basis. you wont be able to play the downloadable PS1 games on the PS3, aparently PS3 will download them and store them, if you wanna play them, you copy them over to the PSP...memorystick.....which also explains why the redesigned PSP will have 8GB of internam memory.

but anyways, at some point the downloaded PS1 games will be playable on the PS3.

These cats look like the ones out of animal crossing.....

Looks very much like iTunes.

Atleast it's cleaner and more organized than the Xbox 360 dash.

I hope they keep the cats for the US version.

They are so delightfully Japanese!
