Fate/unlimited codes for PSP is download-only

Fate/unlimited codes is the second PSP game to be exclusive to the Playstation Store. The game will be released in the summer for $29.99.

I guess this is one way to fight piracy on the PSP.

This all digital model, coupled with the new PSP, is what is going to attempt to fight piracy.

That is why all of the developers are suddenly on board for the PSP again.

Sony is trying to push the PSP again so that it will still be relevant when the PSP2 drops in 2011

This won't stop piracy at all. Hacked versions of all PSN store releases for PSP have popped up all over the web.

Hopefully, this game will be successful so other Japan-only PSP games can come to North America as well on the Playstation Store.

i hope they port this to ps2 in america

Not really seeing how DDL is going to solve the piracy issue where UMDs didn't.

[Close_Second]

...use a DLC model? I mean, they don't distribute pirate UMDs :)

I think the big push to stopping piracy on the PSP will be when they really push features like you have on the PSP with trophies and friends lists, etc. Basically anything that will want you to connect your PSP on-line.

Can they detect when a modded PSP connects to PSN or for playing multiplayer games such as Resistance Retribution?

By the way, I have a PSP-3000 and don't support software piracy. I love my PSP but just wish I could buy more arcade style games off of PSN such as Super Stardust Portable.

...be able to buy lots more PSP games off of PSN. I love the faster load times, the extra battery life that playing off the memory card brings.

They need to start releasing the platinum collection on PSN but at a lower cost than retail. For instance, on PSN "Daxter" is $34.95 NZD. I can walk into my local gaming store and get it for as low as $19.95 NZD. I also get something tangible I can trade or sell!

Price DLC right and it will sell!!!! Bring on Lumines and Lumines II on PSN for the PSP!!!!

umd was a great idea to fight piracy, similar to gamecube's mini-dvds.

i remember paying $100 for a 1GB memory stick back in 2006 and then downloading psp's first DLC game demo, Loco Roco. i liked the idea of having better load times AND battery life. of course, even back then 1GB wasn't much to work with and i stuck to my iPod 60GB for music and videos.

give us psp2 with built-in SSD storage and then maybe we might see nintendo sweat a little. maybe even apple will sweat a little too.

i want the ps2 version of the game, if i get it for psp my bro would have to download it too wouldnt he? would it be free for him to download it? cuz otherwise it wud be lame......i've been waiting for american version on ps2 for ever.....ugggh instead of all those king of fighters 98 collection thingys they release every month y not this game!!!!!

*EDIT*

thanks for info close second, hope ur right :D lol hope they do a download option for dissidia if thats the case lol :D

[Close_Second]

...but I have downloaded a couple of games off PSN and used it on all 3 PSPs in my household. All 3 PSPs are registered on my PS3 however so I'm not sure if that has something to do with it.

[PSP2]

dont worry im coming

[typikal82]

thats what she said

but on a serious note, is this for Japan only or USA?

[pwnsause]

its for both JP and US.

[Sev]

No you're not.

Not until 2011.
