PLAYSTATION®Store now on PC

For Immediate Release

This November sees the launch of PLAYSTATION Store for PC at http://store.playstation.com. It's the answer to every PSP (PlayStation®Portable) owner's dreams: an all new website that, similarly to PLAYSTATION Store on PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3), brings together in one place all the great PSP content - and, this time, makes it available from your PC. Access to the site is completely free*, with no purchase necessary and no subscription required, leaving you to enjoy PLAYSTATION Store when and how you like.

The site goes live on November 20 - and it launches packed with content. You'll find exclusive full game downloads including Beats and Go! Puzzle - titles for PSP only available on PLAYSTATION Store for PC. You'll find downloadable versions of existing PSP games such as B-Boy and Fired Up as well as a range of downloadable PS one® classic titles that includes some longstanding favourites - think WipEout® and Crash Bandicoot. There are also brand new playable demos like the breathtaking WipEout® Pulse and Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow as well as trailers for forthcoming PSP titles - so you can try your hand at new games as well as watching what's in store for the future. As if that wasn't enough you can download cool music content and keep up to date with new and upcoming bands.

Managing your money becomes easy: payment will work in the same way as PLAYSTATION Store on PS3. If you've already registered with PLAYSTATION Network via PS3, your login details will remain the same for PLAYSTATION Store on PC - so there's no need to register again! You can even manage your PLAYSTATION Network account via your PC - topping up the funds in your wallet, editing your personal profile or managing your friends list.

Overleaf are a few of the things you can expect to find when PLAYSTATION Store for PC goes live on 20th November at http://store.playstation.com.

http://store.playstation.com launches with a raft of exclusive PLAYSTATION Network titles, only downloadable via PLAYSTATION Store. Log on now to enjoy exclusive full downloadable games for your PSP.

Interact with your favourite music tracks on the move with Beats - an exclusive title featuring an addictive rhythm action game and a 'Jamming' composer feature. There's also Go! Puzzle: three highly original puzzle games that you can play on your own or with friends.

Some of the best-loved PSP titles released on UMD (Universal Media Disc) are now available to download from PLAYSTATION Store for PC. So if you didn't get your hands on them first time around, now's your chance.

Get your Sudoku fix wherever and whenever you want with Go! Sudoku - an interactive Sudoku experience with 1,000 puzzles, multiplayer modes, and more. If dancing is your thing, check out B-Boy, a breakdancing game in which players take to the floor to battle real-life breaking legend Crazy Legs. Or, if you feel like combat, there's a cutthroat world of high-octane vehicles, big guns and even bigger explosions awaiting you in Fired Up, where a valiant team of resistance fighters need a hero to turn the tide of battle in their favour.

Whether you're taking a trip down memory lane or discovering these games for the first time, you'll love the selection of PS one classics we've got in the Store for you. There's hyperactive island-hopper Crash Bandicoot®, sword-and-sorcery high jinks with skeleton knight Sir Dan Fortescue in Medievil, futuristic, no-holds-barred anti-gravity racing in WipEout® and much, much more. Looking back has never been so much fun.

Try your hand at anti-terrorist espionage in Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow, race adrenaline-fuelled anti-gravity tracks at 600 kmh in WipEout® Pulse and lead a batch of bouncing, rolling creatures through amazing environments in LocoRoco. Remember - it's all free, so download a playable demo today.
