Playstation Store comes to the PC

It’s a dream come true. Yes, folks. You don’t need a PS3 to actually access the Playstation Store now.
Sony has FINALLY gone and updated their store and created an activation point where you can activate up to five PSPs to your account and can create subaccounts to actually buy different types of things. You have to charge your “virtual wallet” to actually buy anything, and I haven’t actually gotten around to trying the purchasing since I’m in the middle of a mission for Portable Ops Plus, but it’s definitely going to be tested and there will be hell to pay if it doesn’t work.

I have to say that I’ve been waiting for this online feature for a long time too. So far, from what I can tell, this could actually be Mac or PC based altogether since you just have to attach your USB cable to your system and click the activate button on your web browser.

The games are definitely not quite what I had in mind for PS1. Some good ones, but come on…. where’s the classics such as Parasite Eve? Come on Sony, you really can do better than that. The downloadable PSP games could also be a little cheaper, as well as the PS1 games. $14.99 for Wipeout Pure when I can buy a used media one for less? Come on. And PS1 for ten bucks? I’d rather buy a Wii Console game for that money.

All in all though, this is some pretty sweet news although there are a few caveats that I hope Sony irons out. Either way, empowering the players with more alternatives really makes it a good thing.
