Sony is planning a music shop for PSP

[GODJonez]

Taken from MikroPC.net and translated into English:

Sony tries to catch Apple in music business. The Japanese company is planning a specific music service for their Playstation Portable -hand console, according to a news from Register.

The selling of PSP in Europe and the United States begins apparently in March. At the same time a downloading service is opened from which users can download new levels for games and also program updates. Guesses say that music is available to download as early as next summer and may expand to video downloads later.

There is a possibility that PSP-music shop is somehow connected to Sony's Connect shop that opened last spring at the USA.

What will they try next?

Just remember that Japanese sales rarely reflect what is/will happen(ing) in the U.S. market.

That's a killing for sure... a whole 11,000...

Anyway they will end up about the same. Why because lot's of gamers will buy both.

Also, a link to the site where you got the info from would be nice, that way i can keep updated on the sales.
