PSP to Copy iPhone

Yup, the bastards at Sony who are just as bad as Microsoft in their “Hey me too” method of doing business have decided that they want to copy Apple’s App Store business model and open their own App Store. During the Develop Conference in Brighton this week, SCEE’s head of developer relations Zeno Colaço that:

“We’re introducing new initiatives for the PSP which take it beyond traditional gaming, but still includes elements from gaming, and also includes new developers. It is still a professional environment, you still need a development kit and you still need to have investment and a team, but it can be a small team. We don’t see any of the restrictions on the disc-based space being in this space.”

The PSP App Store will be a ‘specially branded’ area of the PS Store and already has over 40 studios working on different games and applications for use on the PSP and the new PSP Go. I think I’ll stick with my iPhone, they seem to have their shit together at Apple a bit more than Sony.

I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for. It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are. I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own. It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
