PS3 To Get Minis This Holiday
With the launch of the PSPgo, Sony introduced us to PSP ‘Minis’, bite-size PSP games, which are under 100 MB in size and under $10 in cost. It seems that Sony might just be bringing these Mini games to a console we all know and love.
With THREE different sites reporting the news, the proof just might be in the pudding that Sony plans on bringing the PSP Minis to the PlayStation 3 by Christmas this year. Of course, the titles would launch on the PS3 with an increased resolution, but no information on if the prices would be increased too. When asked about the Matter, Sony wasn’t going to confirmed nor deny the possibility.
We don’t comment on rumor or speculation.
Remember,Sony also didn’t comment on the PS3 Slim and PSPgo when information was leaked onto the Internet. Sony claims there will be 50 PSP Minis available by the end of 2009 and it would be a GREAT Christmas present if many of those titles were unleashed on the PS3 via the PSN.

I hope this happens, then I’ll have cheap games on both my PS3 and PSP.
it will happen Sony saying “we don’t comment on rumour or speculation” is their way of saying it’s true.
@Ejsponge61 PSP Minis aren’t cheap. Ever heard of $10 tetris? If those will be the prize, Its not going to sell much. Look at Critter Crunch, its only $7.99.
l also liked how people were denying rumors with the slim such as “uhh it’s fake, photoshop, and l can’t see it clearly from the image”

@Kirobz. You obviously havne’t spent TOO Much time with the minis. I’ve heard good things about Kahoots and it’s only 5 dollars. 15 out of 21 of the games are 5 dollars or less. FIVE DOLLARS OR LESS!
The ONLY game that’s 10 dollars is tetris. The other 5 I haven’t talked about are 6-8 dollars roughly. That’s not overly expensive.
Torgo from the PSNation talks with a lot of developers and he said that we should expect this feature soon. I have complete confidence. But here’s the question that is going to burn in my sides…
Are we getting Trophies with our PS3 versions?
The minis are required to get approval from the ESRB which costs 2,500 dollars ON TOP of the things like dev kits and everything. So if we pretended that maybe they had a production cost of 5000, then obviously it’d take anywhere from 1,000 to 2,000 sales (depending on how much of a cut Sony gets) for them to make their money back. We don’t know how many sales these things get, how profitable they are, etc…
So at the end of the day these companies are testing the waters. We may see more 2 dollar minis if there’s proof it’ll be easily able to profit off of that.
The app store doesn’t have these extra charges though because it’s a cellphone app, not a console or portable gaming device product… it’s a loop hole more or less. Even though things like porn is just as easy to find on 1 platform as another.
I don’t really care about the Minis, I would much rather have the full PSP games…like God of War: Chains of Olympus for instance, or Patapon. If I wanted Minis I would either have an iPhone or a PSPgo, neither of which I want or care for
Ok let me tell you this. ITS TRUE
If you listen to PS Nation podcast they confirm it. PS Nation is backed by Sony and they get a lot of their info from them. In the last podcast they openly said it was true and it was coming but they didnt know the time frame.
If you want to listen to it yourself go to http://www.psnation.org/ download last episode. It should be somewhere in the beginning when they talk about the news.
There you have it this is TRUE
any official word on whether they will have trophies or not?
@yl_ksa
do they have them originally?
dont think so. so they probably will not add trophies to them. they are not remaking the game just making it compatible with ps3. wouldnt be surprised if they just did a firmware update or something to make it work.
Dec 17th System Update 3.15 … PS3 mini support and PS3 file transfer option.
Yay Mini’s.
