The PlayStation Network is the online service by Sony Computer Entertainment, providing downloads of games, trailers, and much more, either for free, or for a fixed price.
PlayStation Network
The PlayStation Network is the online platform that Sony uses for their PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable (PSP) systems. There is no fee to become a user and use all of its features.PlayStation Store
The main source of distribution of content on the PlayStation Network is through the PlayStation Store. The PlayStation Store provides different kinds of content, such as games, demos, trailers, themes, wallpapers, add-ons, music soundtracks, television shows (currently U.S. only), and movies (currently U.S. only), either for free, or for a fixed price. The PlayStation Store is updated every Thursday, regularly, with new content.PlayStation Store for PC
Sony Computer Entertainment has created a web portal to the PlayStation Store for PSP users who do not have access to a PLAYSTATION 3 in order to download the content available for their handheld system. There are many different things available on the PC store. Whole disc-based games like Wipeout Pure and Jeanne D Arc are available for download, and can be run off the memory stick. PS1 ports like Warhawk and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night can also be bought. Several PSN games previously only available on the PS3 are being ported to PSP like Everyday Shooter and flOw through the PC store.Payment Methods
Unlike some other online platforms which use points as a means of currency, the PlayStation Store uses the same currency of the country that users reside in does. There are different kinds of payment methods accepted on the PlayStation Store. When you add funds onto your account, those funds are stored in your "Wallet". Different methods of adding funds include:- Credit Card
- Pre-Paid Card
- PLAYSTATION Network Card
PSP PlayStation Store
The PSN will finally be integrated with the PSP in Oct. of 2008. As a part of the PSP update 5.00, PSP users will be able to access the store right from their handhelds and download games, and media right to their memory stick. One important feature as Sony continues to push digital distribution with the PSN is that PSP games will be available day and date to download off the PSP PSN store.Life with PlayStation
On June 26, 2008, Sony announced Life with PlayStation. A free service that features a 3D globe where users can zoom in on certain sections to find the weather and news headlines of that area. At E3 2008, Sony also announced that Life with PlayStation will also allow users to upload videos from their games straight to YouTube. Life with PlayStation was released on September 18, 2008.
