To quote: The head of PlayStation marketing at Sony America, John Koller, has stated that Sony would ideally like to see simultaneous digital versions of its PSP titles released alongside their retail UMD counterparts.
"In the back half of this year, we should see a good rise in the amount of content that comes to PSN for the PSP," he told Wired. "We're aware that most of the content thus far has been for PS3, and that's based on the usage model and who has been demanding that content.
"But as we continue, and there's more of a desire from the consumer for PSP content, we're going to really increase the size and amount of content that's available."
I belive digital game downloads are the way of the future. It will save countless amounts of money on production, shipping, and retail sales. Just think how much Wallmart or Gamestop pays for each game unit.
If they cut out the middle man and just payed for hosting there product instead of shipping it they would really be able to invest more into development. And thus we will become beneficiaries our selves.
