Sony is planning a music shop for PSP

Eh...not a lot of credible info there. They even second guess thier own statements...

You have to look at total sales.

Linking to websites is allowed here.

The added features and playability of video and music files just gives me more reason to get one.

who would actually use the browser on a PSP anywayz... unless you can crack and hack at your games and such, then it would be awesome. i kind of look forward to music

[Ultimate X]

does the psp play ps2 discs or its own discs

[polobunny]

Own discs.
They are called UMD's btw.

[Ultimate X]

so that also means its not gonna be the whole game if its ported

as if im gonna go buy a new console and 2 copys of the same game like grand turismo 4

my laptop is mobile enough

What do you mean it won't be the whole game. The UMD disk is capable of storing 1.8 GB of data. Even though DVDs can hold 4.7 or even almost 9 GB of data, MOST games that use more then 1.8 use a lot of FMVs which can be downsized or changed to save space.

[Ultimate X]

well ya i guess if they shrink the size to fit the small screen then maybe

btw is the umd disc the size of a regular disc or mini disc

[Josh]

It's the size of a mini disk. It is also in a case to protect it from getting scratched.

They should not be that many FMV's on the PSP anyway... the more FMV's the shorter the Battery life... So im guessing most producers will try to work around that, by having polygon demos instead.
