I don’t really know what I was expecting from the PSP version of this great game, but I fancied killing a few birds with one stone: using the PlayStation Store naitively on the PSP, then buying and running a downloadable game.

You can think of this as part 2 of my previous post, ‘An insight into how faulty PS3s are dealt with‘. That article dealt with the straightforward replacement of a faulty console and the issues surrounding warranties. This article deals with backing up the data of your PS3, and when things go wrong…

New “Department” at the PlayStation Store: The Capcom Storefront- I’m loving what the team is doing for the PlayStation Store. I admit that I’ve forgotten whether this is applying to all versions of the Store, or just the US version. My brain’s scrambled these days!

New Media Manager for PSP- I’m going to have to check this out soon, especially with access to the PlayStation Store now integrated into it. Interesting that they’ve finally made it free (the standard version, anyway), which I’ve been asking for a good couple of years now. Bravo Sony.

Personally though, themes don’t appeal to me. I like the clean, elegant XMB that is there as default. I’ve even got rid of my [...]

Downloading Warhawk- Yup, I’m seriously considering downloading Warhawk from the PlayStation Store. It’s about £10 cheaper, and I’ll be able to launch the game immediately as it’ll be on the hard drive. No headset though? I’m not particularly bothered about that at the moment.
