Koller Talks Downloadable PSP Games

Posted by x3sphere on August 6, 2007 @ 10:25 pm


MTV News’ Stephen Totilo recently had the chance to talk to Sony product manager John Koller. In the interview Koller shed light on something that’s been a hot topic lately: Downloadable content for the PSP. We know that the PSP is getting an online store, with games, movies, and music to download. But when? Koller wouldn’t give an exact time frame, but said we should hear more about this service within the next six to eight months, far longer than initially expected due to digital rights management issues. Still, great to hear that it’s coming, eventually.

Continuing the downloadable content discussion, Koller said there will be original games for download only on the PSP Store, much like what’s available on the PS3 Store.

On a unrelated note, Totilo also asked Koller about the status of infamous PSP developer Dark_AleX. Has he been employed by Sony? Has Sony shut him down? “Neither. I think he’s taking a hiatus,” Koller replied. Of course – most of us already knew this – but if you had thought Sony had something to do with his leave, there’s your answer.

Dark_AleX left because he couldnt do it, he was at his prime with 3.40OE, now he's kissing Wildcard firmware's ass xD. And it was a breeze for M33.

Remember we can bash Dark_AleX now because he left the scene to hang cold. He didnt have a good reason to just leave. Even though he was the first, he's not the best. :w00t:



That's it! A lot of flaming will be aimed towards me for this, that's why i wont be checking back in this thread :biggrin: .

x3sphere says:

Erm... why bash Alex? What did he do to you, other than release firmwares that _you_ probably used?

Many developers create applications for themselves, you know. You should be thankful he shared his work.

banner, pardon me, but peoples like you mustn't be here in eXophase, i think that those comments are unfear and ilogic. Dark_Alex really did something for you, and not only for you, but for all of us, bringin' those perfect firmwares. And what r u doing? Speaking a lot of @#€/%€#@... If i were the admin you cannot write the next comment, at least in eXophase. This community is for change knowledge, is for all the dudes around the world, is for helping. Why peoples like you appear like that, uh?

No kiddin', seriously, banner, how can you even SAY that? Like, that's just uncalled for. I know there's not much I can say that hasn't already been said, but just think of how much work D_X put into everything he did for the PSP scene, and look at how you honor and respect that work- you DON'T. I can understand why he left, if there is nothing but ungrateful n00bs out there bashing on your hard work, dedication and accomplishment then why bother going on? And D_X could stop working whenever he DAMN WELL pleased- you have no right to pass judgment on the decisions and of others. Peh, this ain't worth getting worked up over; CLEARLY banner knows what he just said and did was wrong, why else would he not come back to check this thread? Oh well, whatever. I just hope that if D_X were to read banner's thread he would read just a little further to read this-
I respect everything you did for the PSP homebrew scene, D_X, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have a PSP to begin with; I'm still rockin' 3.40OE-A, that's just how I roll, I'm rather a loyalist when it comes to things like this, and I won't change until absolutely necessary to play newer games. I hope you can leave this thread with a better feeling, because for everything good in the world there just has to be people that validate themselves on dragging down the truly accomplished to their level, so they can feel better; and for every one of THOSE people there are 100 that completely respect and praise said accomplishment and work.

Well said cheeze.

OMG is this guy brain-dead or something? can any of you ban his ip from connecting to this forum? LOL!! If it wasn't for dark alex sharing his work, he'd probably be a lost child.. not to mention he could jolly well have sold his work for money if you think about it. banner i doubt u can do more than talking. every orther custom firmware developers are working on improving while u sit on your butt and install their firmwares.. look who's the ass kisser. hah
