Wondering where to find the latest PSP demos, themes, downloadable games and wallpaper (sorry, no firmware downgraders here!)? Sony introduced a central go-to spot for PSP downloadable content this week. The Sony PLAYSTATION Store for the PC launched on Tuesday of this week for North America. The naming of the "Playstation Store" may be confusing. It's not the same Playstation Store found on the Playstation 3 console. It's a Playstation Store, accessible via a PC web browser, for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) handheld.
It's not only demos, XMB themes and wallpaper that can be downloaded. Several UMD games will be made available, with WipeOut Pure and Gangs of London being among the first for $14.99 each ($5 less than on UMD). There will also be new PSP titles, only available from the Playstation Store PC. Exclusive downloadable content for games will be available from the Playstation Store PC as well.
If you have a Playstation 3 and have setup a Playstation Store account, you'll be able to use it on the Playstation Store PC as well. An easy way to add funds to your virtual wallet for purchasing downloadable goods on the PS3 or PSP.
Here's the hitch, for Mac users at least. You'll need to have the Playstation Network Downloader to download the content. The application is a PC executable (.exe) file. A Mac application isn't available now, and there isn't any word on when, or if, it is coming.
Available PSP content from the Playstation Store PC includes:

- Syphon Filter Combat Ops ($9.99)
