Sony Europe preps UMD collection of downloadable games

Many hardcore PSP fans love being able to launch games off the Memory Stick, instead of UMD. Not only does it mean we can carry multiple games on our system, without having to carry around an extra pouch for games, but games stored on Memory Stick typically load faster as well. In spite of that, many casual users of PSP may not know about the PLAYSTATION Store. Sony Europe's solution? To bring downloadable games out on UMD.

The PLAYSTATION®Network Collection - Power pack will arrive in Europe next month, and it will house three very different downloadable games: beats, a music game which lets you use your own MP3 collection, Syphon Filter: Combat Ops, a third-person multiplayer shooter based on the Syphon Filter universe, and flOw, a relaxing adventure where players grow and evolve creatures.

The PLAYSTATION®Network Collection - Puzzle pack will feature three other download games: Lemmings, Go! Sudoku! and Go! Puzzle. This collection will also be available next month.

Yeah, definetely a good idea =)

It is all on one UMD - good idea too. I know a few PSP owners that weren't aware of the PlayStation Store until I told them recently. Hopefully Sony will include details of the Store inside the UMD case and increase knowledge of it.

Yeah, to be fair, one of the few problems with having everything on the Memory Stick is you can run out of room easily. I had a ton of ripped videos on mine, and ended up with almost no room left. And now I'm going to download a bunch of games on there?

If MS sizes would go up and prices come down more, that would help.
