Perhaps a sign at a real redesign of the PSP that includes a hard drive and not a pesky UMD slot, Sony is reported to be working on a more fully-fleshed out content delivery system for the system. Currently only available to do on the PlayStation 3, Gamesindustry.biz says that Sony “will offer multiple content to PSP users via the PlayStation Store, including original games, classic PSone titles, demos for UMD-based and downloadable games, additional content for released games and TV content such as trailers, behind-the-scenes clips and interviews.”

From GGL Wire contributor Khonsu:
Auran recently announced some big changes involving its Competitive Online Role Playing Game (CORPG), Fury. These changes are in direct response to play testers concerns involving its “No Grind” philosophy. Previously players had to unlock skills and level up incarnations (classes) which many players considered grinding. Also Auran has made a few changes to help new players into the game so they aren’t so overwhelmed. The updates seek to mirror the philosophy of the title of the announcement: “An even game is a fun game.”

Sparking the craze hasn’t just been the unit itself, however, as all 77,777 Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII special edition PSPs have been sold out. Shocker? Not really. Considering how well a redesigned DS did in Japan, it was obvious the PSP might experience the same effect — especially with […]
