PSP Store now fully open

It's the certificate that's used for authentication I believe. Haven't bought this yet, mainly because I don't have any music on my PSP memory cards yet. Might buy another 4GB at some point for it.

You have to have your PSP connected when you download a game. It should automatically pull up the Downloader Program when you click on the link to download the file and will then start downloading it straight to your PSP.

It seems that they are also working on a PSP based version at the moment. The only reason that the PC version was released first due to them wanting to make the PSP as small and as simple as possible.

Yeah got it, straight from the browser. Fun and games in Linux

There's music with the game, your own music is optional.

Do you have a PS3? You can order from the PC store and actually perform the download on the PS3 apparently.

Your account is the same whether you log in on your PC or PS3 so you can pay in one and download in the other.

I just downloaded Kula World via my PC and I already have it on my PS3, it's good to see that they let you have more than one copy of the game. It's nice that you can transfer your saves from the PS3 to PSP too.

There are some obvious restrictions with the downloads, you can't download the PS3 games on the PC and you can't download the PC Store exclusives like Beats on the PS3.

I imagine anything that is on the PC version is going to end up on the PS3 version anyway but they probably want to get people using the PC version too.

Can someone help me out with this? Am I able to buy stuff on my PC from the US PSP store and the UK PSP store, or will using one mean I can't use the other? Is it possible even to pay for stuff on the US store or will they just know I'm in the UK from my credit card?

[JP]

It's the same as on the PS3, if you can buy things from different regions then there is nothing to prevent you doing that.

The difficulty is that it's really difficult to be able to buy them due to the payments not being accepted.

[toythatkills]

I haven't got a PS3, so don't really know how this works!

[JP]

Try setting up an account, you're not going to lose anything if it doesn't work as it's free.

You'll need to set up different accounts for different countries, you'll have no problems with the UK one but it seems to be getting harder to make payments without a credit card from that country.

Have a look here for instructions if you are struggling setting up overseas accounts. Bear in mind they were done for setting one up on the PS3 but it should be easy enough to work out the differences.

If you do get stuck, feel free to PM!

Cheers for that, I'll give it a go! It seems absurd that Beats is £4.99 in the UK and less than half that - $4.99 in the US. And the US has Wild Arms, while the UK has Kula World.

Why oh why can't they just have the same stuff for the same price and stop all this hassle!
