Sony Connect To Hook Up With PlayStation Portable? 99
An anonymous reader writes "UK video game site C&VG has posted a story rumoring Sony's PlayStation Portable handheld game console will allow both music and games to be downloaded via the newly announced Sony Connect online download store. An industry source quoted in the article says: 'PSP is intended to be able to link up with Sony Connect to offer digital music for download, but the bigger deal is the plan to put PSP games up there for download eventually, too.' C&VG says this rumor, if true, shows 'Sony's alleged drive to ultimately cut-out retail and handle distribution of software itself' - we'll find out for sure next week at E3." Elsewhere, GamePro/Famitsu interviews leading Japanese PSP developers, with Atlus producer Hideyuki Yokoyama saying: "I expect downloads and fees to be the primary business model."

Pardon me, here's a different link [nytimes.com], the Google News workaround link. Don't be shy about looking it up yourself next time -- comes in handy if you're actually interested in the content.
On the other hand, if your objective is to rail against evil site registration then I can see how you couldn't be bothered.
