If the Japanese details for the launch of the PSP store ring true for Americans, you’ll soon be able to download any and all Sony games in addition to buying them in retail stores. This is happening soon 14with the 5.00 firmware update, scheduled to hit Japanese Wi-Fi networks on October 15th. Three games will be available at launch included Patapon, LocoRoco 2, and Secret Agent Clank. Every first party title will follow day and date with their retail counterparts. No pricing is announced, though if they’re the same price, why wouldn’t you get a boxed copy?
No word on an official date for US and European gamers, though this stuff historically doesn’t take too long after a Japanese test run.
