Sony Computer Entertainment America has announced the price range for the original PlayStation titles being made available for PlayStation Portable (PSP).
The first batch of original PlayStation games will go on sale for between US Dollars $5.99 and $10.99. Weighing in at between 140 and 550 megabytes, they must be downloaded to a PlayStation 3 hard drive and can then be transferred to Memory Stick Duo.
The first titles will be available through the PlayStation Store “in the coming weeks”, according to an official statement, and “additional first and third party games will be added on an ongoing basis”.
SCEA has yet to confirm which games will hit the online store first. However, ten games - including Resident Evil: Director’s Cut, Tekken 2 and Arc the Lad - are due to go on sale through Sony Japan’s online store from now.
Sony has also released system update version 3.0 in Japan and North America, which includes PlayStation Network support and a Remote Play feature - enabling PSP owners to wirelessly stream media from the 60 gigabytes PlayStation 3. Users will eventually be able to use Remote Play via Wi-Fi hotspots.
The update also includes software for the PSP camera, music player enhancements; RSS feed updates and the option to prevent the automatic boot-up of games when the PSP is switched on.
