PSP Minis Pint Size Gaming Gets Pint Size Price
The PlayStation Portable has been going through quite a bit of transformation over the recent months. E3 revealed the long rumored PSP Go and during the GameCom press event Sony made some more announcements regarding the powerful portable platform.
PlayStation Portable will be host to PSP Minis, low budget, low priced games directly downloaded via the PlayStation Store. Each PSP Mini will be less 100 megabytes in size and priced between $1.50 and $2.50. Indian developers GameShastra is at the forefront of PSP Mini development. They have 30 projects in development which are slated to be released between October and January.
The future of the PlayStation store looks to be competing with Apple’s successful App Store. At least 15 titles should be available in October with up to 50 available by years end.

@Cameron yeah! i think so too. Sony is trying to compete against iTOUCH. But i think a PSP phone would be a better idea. Are they just readying it? maybe. possibly.

Does anyone know the best programming language to learn for making these PSP Minis?

@ Kirobz, this is just testing the market i am sure. I mean you see how succesful the app store is for apple and I think Sony could hit a homerun with this, especially if they keep the cost of games down.

Wonderful, I love supporting smaller developers and this seems like a great way to do that.

[...] Just a word of advice: if players have no need for this gaming education, they can opt to delete the application from their go to free up some space for more Mini’s. [...]
