Sony Hints PSP May Get Non-Game Apps


Sony spokesman Al De Leon today teased that Sony is considering downloads of non-game software for the PSP. In an early demo of the upcoming PSP Go, De Leon told Crave that most of the downloads from the soon to be expanded PlayStation Network store will be games but that there’s a chance “non-gaming applications” will be available. What these would entail isn’t mentioned, but Sony already incorporates utilities such as Skype in PSP firmware.

A recent rumor floated by Destructoid, however, hints that Sony plans to partially emulate the iPhone’s App Store and will turn PSN into a generalized but controlled store. Small developers will reportedly have the option of developing games and utilities that don’t have to go through the licensing required for retail but will have to limit these to 100MB and at reduced prices. A tiering structure like Apple’s would exist and keep prices for paid apps between $2 and $6; free apps would also be available.
