Web Link Sony PSP Arena By Stealth

Not exactly N-Gage news, but a nice little heads up. Sony have announced an online music store for the Playstation Portable to download music direct to the device. Which sounds awfully like thier Sony Connect service, except it will also "offer PSP users free additional game levels and upgrades." Sounds like the PSP Arena is coming. Is this going to be an area where the N-Gage and the PSP will have parity to fight it out? We'll find out in Q3.

Except it can't be just like Arena because the PSP can't connect to the internet on its own. It has to be near a wi-fi hotspot and stay there, which is impossible if you're in a car or at the dentists.

The whole concept of the N-gage is that you can play online absolutely anywhere anytime. The PSP and DS hardware just isn't up to this.
